History

The school's current building was built in 1924, and was originally known as Crystal Lake Community High School. Before then it was located at what is now Husmann Elementary School across the street. After Crystal Lake South was founded in 1978, Crystal Lake Community High School changed its name to Crystal Lake Central High School. Crystal Lake Central has the largest campus, but is the least populated of the four high schools in District 155 of Illinois, with a 2006-2007 year population of less than 1500.

Athletics

Its mascot is the Tiger, with school colors orange and black.

The original school was opened in 1884. The building which still houses the school wasn’t created until 1924 and didn’t get its first state title until 1946, when Harold Legel won the state discus championship.
