Thornton Fractional North High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thornton Fractional North High School in Calumet City, Illinois first opened its doors in March 1926 as Thornton Fractional Township High School.[1]
The fully accredited school serves Calumet City and Burnham. The school's boundaries are the City of Chicago on the north, Torrence Avenue on the west, the Indiana state line on the east, and the Little Calumet River to the south.[1]
On December 20, 1933, the original school structure was destroyed by fire. February 7, 1936 marked the opening of current building, which was built at the same location.[1]
Due to growth in the Calumet City-Lansing area, Thornton Fractional South High School was opened in 1959. The original high school that first opened in 1926 was renamed Thornton Fractional North High School. In 1963 and 1964, expansions to the 1936 building were completed.[1]
