HALL TOWNSHIP HIGH AND VOCATIONAL SCHOOL In the southeast corner of Bureau County, the historic Illinois River to the south, is Hall Township. The people there, back in 1913, selected a prairie site in the western part of Spring Valley as the place to erect a high school which would serve the children of the township. Hall Township High and Vocational School was completed in 1915, and offered to its first students, courses in general academic work and in vocational arts. Hall has continued to serve the high school youth of this community through a number of years, and at present is offering the advantages of its courses to students of many non-high school areas. Enrollment has increased; therefore, improvements of various kinds have been made. In 1939, a new swimming pool, gymnasium, and auditorium were added to the old building. Bus service has been extended to the students of outlying areas. Hall’s achievements have been outstanding and in keeping with the times. We are expecting even greater things from our school in Hall Township. page five
