A Short History of Waubonsie Valley

Indian Prairie Community Unit School District #204 (a unit district K-12) was formed
in the fall of 1972.

In December of 1972 a referendum was passed to build and equip a high school at a projected cost of $8.2 million. A separate issue also passed to add a swimming pool. Construction on Waubonsie Valley High School began in the spring of 1973. Tom Gibbs was hired as the first Principal. Since his tenure, Gary Elmen, Marilyn Weaver, Jim Schmid, Kristine Marchiando, and Jason Stipp have served as Principal. In September of 1975, Waubonsie Valley opened its doors for its first school year. Two-hundred-ninety-three Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors attended the new high school. In addition, 7th and 8th graders were housed in the building (using the name Granger Junior High) until Hill Junior High (now Hill Middle School) opened in the Fall of 1981. Construction delays prevented students from using the gym until May of 1976 and the pool until October of 1976. The school was designed as an "open" campus, with very few walls to separate classes. This quickly gave way to temporary room dividers and eventually, more permanent walls. Major construction projects over the years added three classroom wings, a field house and an auditorium, leaving few clues as to the original design of the building. In 1997, WVHS was bursting at the seams with over 3,700 students. Neuqua Valley opened but the growth continued. In 2003, the Gold Campus opened across the street from the Green Campus. "Gold" housed our Freshmen students while Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors attended classes at "Green." In 2009, Metea Valley opened. As a result, WVHS once again hosts all four classes and has initiated a "house" concept to support students.

Warrior Community,

On Wednesday, November 11th, WVHS will host our annual Veterans Day Ceremony and the theme of 'Heroes Among Us'.
Waubonsie takes great pride in recognizing and supporting our Veterans. It is because of their commitment and sacrifice that we have our freedoms and enjoy this great country. This year we will hear from four of our very own; Jennifer Cassidy, Nurse and Army Veteran, Jimmie Jacobs, Dean and Air Force Veteran, Robert Kus, Sr, Coach and Marine Veteran, Ryan Mutz, TA and Marine Veteran.

Please join us in these Veterans recognitions in a few ways:

Congratulations to our Waubonsie Valley musicians selected for the ILMEA District 9 ensembles! We are incredibly proud of your hard work and dedication!

We also want to recognize every student who submitted an audition. Regardless of the outcome, your effort and courage to challenge yourself are worth celebrating. Remember, one audition does not define your musicianship. Keep growing, keep working, and be proud of how far you’ve come!
