History

The Goodspeed History of Cook County implies that the early history of schools of Park Ridge is unclear, but stated: "By 1860, several schools had been started in that vicinity. Among the first teachers were R.W. Gunnison, Miss Augusta Meacham, and George A. Follansbee."[9]

By 1902, School District 2, Township 41 North, Range 12 East, "Park Ridge", had an "old building" constructed for $6,000 in 1868 on 0.6 acres (0.24 ha) and a "new building" constructed for $20,000 in 1893 on 6.0 acres (2.4 ha)[10]: 53  near the southwest corner of township section 26.[10]: 101 

With school district renumbering from township-wide to county-wide in 1901, Park Ridge's School District 2 became School District 64.[10]: 104  In 1902 the district had a population of 2,112 people[10]: 21  In the 1901–1902 school year, one principal oversaw 11 other teachers,[10]: 104  but for the Autumn 1902 semester, a superintendent oversaw 8 teachers.[10]: 136  At the time there were 5 operating schools in all of Maine Township.[10]: 21 

The Maine Township High School District was organized in September 1902 and held school at Park Ridge until the high school building was completed.[10]: 46 

Construction on Field, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt schools began in 1929.[11]

By 1958 schools in District 64 included Edison, Emerson Junior High, Field, Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln Junior High, Madison, Merrill, and Washington.[12]

Notable alumni

  • Hillary Clinton — She attended Field School[13] from 1952 to 1959 (kindergarten to grade 6) and Emerson Junior High School from 1959 to 1961 (grades 7 and 8).[3][5] In 1997, when Clinton was the First Lady, she visited this school at a reunion with her friends and teachers.[14]
