Thornton Township High Plans New Building To Ease Crowding
Thornton Township High School proposes a new building beside the existing one to handle rapid enrollment growth. Officials cite insufficient classroom, wood shop, machine shop, drawing, biology and zoology facilities, plus a need for a dedicated library, gymnasium, lunch room, and expanded recitation spaces with better air and organization. The plan uses existing tax levy since the old debt is nearly paid and taxes will not rise.
