Renovations
First built as Lisle Community High School in 1956, the current Lisle Junior High School building began serving junior high students in 1974. Since that time, this facility had seen one significant renovation in the 1980s that expanded the commons area and added the District Office space to the front of the building; however, it had not seen any large scale renovations to the learning/classroom spaces since before it became Lisle Junior High School.
During the summer of 2024, renovations were completed for the first time in almost 40 years that created learning spaces that better meet the current demands of teaching and learning. The renovations focused on creating learning spaces for general education classrooms and special education, while also improving entrance security, replacing windows, upgrading lighting, and updating the building’s heating and air conditioning units. As part of the first round of construction projects last summer, the District Office moved to the Lisle Village Hall through an intergovernmental agreement. The space at the Junior High was renovated and returned to classrooms for students use when school began this past August.
Lisle 202 is pleased to share that through careful financial planning, the District is positioned to renovate the Lisle Junior High School learning environments without increasing taxes beyond what is currently paid. The District intends to fund the majority of the project through the issuance of bonds and pay for the renovations over a period of approximately 18 years.
