Public secondary school in Frankfort, Illinois, United States
Lincoln-Way East High School or LWE , is a four-year public high school located approximately three miles south of Interstate 80 near the intersection of Colorado Avenue, U.S. Route 45 (La Grange Road ) and U.S. Route 30 (Lincoln Highway ) in Frankfort, Illinois , a southwest suburb of Chicago, Illinois , in the United States . It is a part of Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 , which also includes Lincoln-Way Central High School and Lincoln-Way West High School and formerly Lincoln-Way North High School .
History [ edit ]
In December 1974, voters approved a $4,985,000 bond issue to develop a new freshman–sophomore building on the Frankfort site. Construction began in the summer of 1975, and the school opened in the fall of 1977 as Lincoln-Way High School East Campus . In November 1992, voters agreed to double the size of the campus to accommodate growth. Facilities added included a 42 classroom academic wing, a field house and auditorium. The expansion was completed in March 1995.
In 1997, citizens of District No. 210 approved a $60 million building bond referendum to split the existing freshmen–sophomore / junior–senior configuration into two separate four-year high schools and to add to the existing East and Central Campuses. The East Campus added 50 classrooms and an Olympic-sized swimming pool, while the Central Campus added 50 classrooms, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a performing arts auditorium with music classrooms, new nursing office, and new administrative offices (PPS). The splitting of Lincoln-Way into two separate high schools became official for the 2001–02 school year as the East Campus became Lincoln-Way East High School.
