Dear Evanston Township High School Community:

 

The 2024-25 school year marks a significant milestone in the history of our esteemed institution as we celebrate the centennial anniversary of Evanston Township High School at its current location on Church and Dodge. It is with immense pride and gratitude that we reflect on the hundred years of excellence, growth, and community spirit that have defined ETHS since this campus opened its doors in 1924.

 

Founded in 1883, Evanston Township High School has long been a cornerstone of our community, dedicated to providing outstanding education and fostering an environment where all students can thrive. The move to our present location a century ago signaled a new era of opportunity and development, setting the stage for the remarkable achievements and traditions we honor today.

 

Over the past hundred years, ETHS has grown and evolved, adapting to the changing needs of our students and community. ETHS has been and will continue to be a national leader in education, offering a stellar curriculum and a world-class education. Our commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and inclusivity has remained steadfast. We have been privileged to witness generations of students walk through our halls, each leaving their unique mark on our school's legacy.

 

As we commemorate this historic occasion, we honor the visionaries, educators, students, families, and vibrant community who have contributed to making ETHS a beacon of learning and progress. Your dedication and unwavering support have been the bedrock of our success, consistently pushing the boundaries of excellence, innovation, and equity in education.

 

Looking ahead, we are excited about the future of Evanston Township High School. We will continue to build on our rich history, embracing new challenges and opportunities with the same spirit of excellence and community that has defined us for the past century. Together, we will ensure that ETHS remains a place where every student can reach their full potential and where the values of excellence and equity are at the forefront of everything we do.

 

Join us as we celebrate our centennial throughout the school year. We invite alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends of ETHS to come together and share in the year’s festivities, beginning with the Centennial Carnivale. It will be held on Saturday, September 14, at Lazier Field from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. 

 

The centennial celebration is an opportunity to reflect on the past, celebrate our present achievements, and set our sights on a bright future. It promises to be a time of reflection, reconnection, and recommitment to our mission of providing a student-centered transformative education experience.

 

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. We look forward to welcoming our students back on August 12 as we kick off this milestone school year. Here's to the next hundred years of shaping minds and fostering academic excellence at Evanston Township High School at Church and Dodge!

 

With pride and appreciation,

 

Marcus Campbell, Ed.D.
