History

Edwardsville High School was first located on North Kansas Street in downtown Edwardsville, and today that building is Columbus Elementary School, with several hundred square feet of space on the third floor which is used primarily as additional District 7 offices. The second Edwardsville High School was completed in 1925. It was expanded over the years creating a labyrinth of halls to form what is today Lincoln Middle School, on 145 West Street. The current Edwardsville High School complex was completed in 1996 by the Korte Company of Highland, Illinois, and is located by the intersection of Illinois Route 157 and Center Grove Road, near the entrance to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. While the current building was completed in 1996, it sat empty and unused until 1997 because the brick facing used on the building was lighter than what had been asked for in the design.
