History

The doors to the high school were spread wide in 1917 and have since grown to 2,500+ students. Minooka Community High School District 111 is a mid-sized school district located in the far southwest suburb of Chicago. The district, is largely composed of the communities of Minooka and Channahon, and also includes portions of Shorewood and Joliet.

Central Campus

Outside of transfers, students come to Minooka Community High School from three feeder school districts, Minooka Community Consolidated School District 201, Channahon School District 17, and Troy Community Consolidated School District 30-C.

Additions have been made to the building over the years. The first addition added hallways to the ends of the existing hallways to create two square hallways coming off of the main walkways. With that addition in the 90's Minooka added more technology and classroom space. Next came the new physical education department space added in the last 4 or 5 years. This addition created more room for PE classes along with driver's ed classrooms and more. The other big addition was building a new lunch room. This glass panel, rounded room is the location of lunch, after school programs, athletic practices, concerts, musicals & plays and the homecoming dance.
