Miss Dorothy Emily Davis, a graduate of the University of Chicago, came to Orland and Palos Townships in 1919 in order to organize an accredited Chicago high school for the students in the area who were unable to attend the Chicago high schools. The Orland High School was established through a provision in the Community High School Law of 1917, making it possible to secure funds for all costs, except building and equipment, from the non-high school district revenue of the State of Illinois.

Miss Davis and the first thirteen students of Orland High School had classes in one room located on the second floor of the old village hall in Orland Park. In March of 1920, the high school was accredited by the State, making graduates eligible to enter the Chicago high schools without entrance examinations and providing full credit for courses taken at the Orland High School.

The next year, Miss Davis and twenty-eight students moved into two rooms in the new bank building. At the end of that school year, the original thirteen students were graduated.

After occupying the old grammar school building for the first part of the third year, Miss Davis and thirty-one students moved to a new five-room school building designed by Mr. Pashley and built by Mr. Mahaffy of Palos Park. In June 1921, another thirteen students graduated. For the next thirty years, makeshift facilities were used to house the expanding high school enrollment. In the 1940s, classes were held in the basement of the grammar school building, in the basement of the Lutheran Church, and in two abandoned stores in the Village of Orland Park. By this time, students were graduating from a fully accredited four-year high school. On May 5, 1952, the voters of Palos and Orland Townships voted to create a new high school by combining High School Districts 221 and 222 into Consolidated High School District 230. A year later, the voters held an election to select the site for the new high school as well as to vote the necessary bonds to construct the building.

Carl Sandburg High School

Construction of the first high school in the newly consolidated district began in May 1953. By September 1954, classes were in session at Carl Sandburg High School at 131st Street and Route 45 in Orland Park. This school now serves the central part of the district.

And to this emblem we’ll be true

You’ve got to fight on for our fame.

Amos Alonzo Stagg High School

On May 26, 1962, the voters in the district approved a $2,100,000 bond issue to finance the construction of the second high school in the district located at 111th Street and Roberts Road in Palos Hills. Stagg High School opened in September 1964.

Proudly waving in the sun,
