Guilford High School is a high school located in Rockford, Illinois. Guilford High School is one of four public high schools in Rockford (Auburn, East, Jefferson).

The school's projected 2006-2007 enrollment is over 2,100 students and 170 teaching and support staff.

It was the first high school in the Rockford School District to have school colors other than red and black, such as West and Auburn's colors. The school's colors are Columbia Blue and White.

The school has an almost identical design to that of Auburn High School. However, Auburn High School was created first, and Guilford was built upon the design with slight improvements. Cross town rivals, Boylan High School has been known to beat the Vikings in football, every homecoming game. Several key people that keep Guilford the status symbol that it is include:

  • Kristi Wilken
  • Paul Nierzwicki
  • Ljiljana Andelovic
  • Juan The Teacher
