History

Originally the land that the high school was built on was owned by the Lanphier family. [http://www.springfield.k12.il.us/schools/lanphier/schoolinfo.php Lanphier High School History] , Lanphier High School. Retrieved 16 March 2007.] Originally the land was a park called Reservoir Park, in which many people would go during the summer. After the park was sold to the school district, the actual building of the school became a part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA).

The first graduating class of the high school was in 1937.

As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1297 students and 70.8 classroom teachers (on a FTE ) basis, for a student-teacher ratio of 18.3.
