Years of On April 7, 1908, at the regular Township Election, the voters of Lockport voted on the proposition of establishing a township high school and the proposition carried. A special election was then called to elect the Board of Education. The board met and organ- ized on June 1, 1908. Edwin C. Young was elected the first president of the board. Immediately after the first organization meeting the board had frequent meetings to devise ways and means to establish and locate a high school and carry out the desire of the people as expressed by their verdict in voting for the proposition. Another election followed to vote on the pro- posals of purchasing a site, building a Township High School, and issuing a bond in the sum of 350,000.00 When the voters failed to locate any site by a majority vote the board passed a res- olution fixing the site in our present location. In December of 1908 plans were approved and the general contract was awarded for the sum of 334,929.00 Progress The building was occupied by the high school pupils about November 15, 1909, after the high school had been held for two months in the Opera House awaiting completion of the build- ing. These were the first of many years of pro- gress. Later in 1925 and 1930 we added what is now the gymnasium, swimming pool, victory tower, and our beautiful trophy room. In January of 1953 unit one of our third addition was opened. It included a spacious library seating 174 people, two large study halls seating 240 students, a boiler room, an electrical distribution center, and receiving and storage facilities. Finally in 1955 unit two of our third addition was opened. It included an agricultural department, a new cafe- teria, girl's gymnasium, new quarters for the music department, and a new auditorium accom- modating 1,200 persons which will eventually be completed. Our years of progress have been many and varied, they constitute an effort which has made Lockport High one of the finest in this area. li I
