In the spring of 2006, voters overwhelmingly rejected the first in a series of six referenda to provide funds for the new school. The school board has proposed construction of a new high school building in Homer Glen to ease overcrowding and enable the district to close the Central Campus. Enrollment in both campuses was 3997 students as of the start of the 2007-2008 year.Įnrollment grew by 1,200 students in the decade prior to 2007, with the result that Central and East Campuses both presently operate over their design capacities. East Campus was designated to house grades 10-12 and Central Campus became the Freshman Center, housing grade 9. The project was finished in the fall of 1997. The renovation project enabled District 205 to house 3,000 students at East Campus and 1,000 students at Central Campus. In the spring of 1995, the communities within District 205 passed a referendum to remodel the interior of Lockport East Campus and increase its size, renovate areas of Central Campus, upgrade and expand the technology resources and infrastructure at both campus. Both Lockport Central and East Campus remained in District 205, while the Lockport West Campus became Romeoville High School, part of Valley View Community Unit School District 365U. In 1971, Lockport High School District 205 was separated into two districts. Juniors and seniors attended the older school, referred to as Lockport Township High School - Central Campus. In 1963, Lockport West High School opened as a four-year high school in Romeoville, and in 1964, Lockport Township High School-East Campus opened for freshmen and sophomores at 1333 E. With these additions, the high school now occupies the entire block of Twelfth, Jefferson, Thirteenth, and Madison Streets. Since the time of the dedication, two major additions in 19 have been made to the school.

In 1910, Lockport High School opened and was accredited by the North Central Association.
