• History & Memorable Moments

Starting in 1871, high school students from Oak Park attended classes in an elementary school. The first class, which contained only three people, graduated in 1877. The population of the area was growing rapidly partly due to the Chicago Fire, so to accommodate this a building solely for the high school was constructed in 1892. The population continued to grow, and in 1899 the high school was separated from the elementary school district, and a consolidated district was created with River Forest, establishing Oak Park and River Forest Township High School.^[1]

In recent years there has been a growing controversy at Oak Park River Forest High School in which a portion of the students who reside in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago have marked down that they live within Oak Park. On April 14, 2007 Attila J. Weninger was selected to be the next superintendent following Susan Bridge's retirement at the end of the 2006-2007 school year. He officially took office on July 1, 2007.^[1]
