Park Junior High School

Park Junior High School

Park Junior High School is a middle school in La Grange, Illinois. The current student populace is around eight hundred fifty students.

History

The building which is now Park was originally the girls' school for Nazareth Academy, which has since become co-ed and moved just a few blocks down Ogden Avenue. In 1974, LaGrange Elementary School District 102 purchased the building and renovated it; Park opened in the following year, named after the street bordering its west side, Park Avenue.

Four elementary schools feed into Park: Ogden Avenue School in La Grange; Cossitt School in La Grange; Forest Road Elementary School in La Grange Park; and Congress Park Elementary School in Brookfield. After graduating from Park, students typically attend Lyons Township High School in nearby La Grange.

Teams

Each grade (7th and 8th) is divided into two teams.

*Team 7A
*Team 7B

*Team 8A
*Team 8B

chool Administration

The current principal is Dr. Laura Schwartz, who has attained the principalship since 2002; the assistant principal is Mr. Phil Abraham.

Art Gallery

Park currently houses the esteemed Nettie J. McKinnon Art Collection, which has been loaned to the school by the district for a twenty five year period. The collection started as a school legacy project at nearby Oak School in the 1940s, but when evaluated in 2002, it was found to be worth more than one million USD. Park is only one of two elementary schools in the entire United States to have a full, private art collection.
