Talk:Naperville Central

The "FLAT WING" is an ADDITION. The "THREE STORY WING" or whatever they're calling it these days, is the 1950s building, the old Naperville Community High School. The Dedication plaque was STILL THERE in the early 1990s.

The "three story wing" still is called the same today (December, 2004). And the school has had several different names! When the alumni web team put together the database we left one of the names out and it caused confusion for some of our older graduates! So, yes, NCHS has been known as: Naperville Community High School, Naperville High School, and Naperville Central High School. The dedication plaque for the original building has never been moved or changed. We now have a couple more in addition to that original one from 1952.

It may be of interest to some that we also have several "temporary" or "portable" additions to our building to house the extra 305+ students we have now. There are six classrooms in a "portable" sitting at the rear of the current structure (in the "courtyard" of the three story wing") sort of in the middle of a parking area looking down towards the football field). The additional two classrooms are in the grassy area just off the "flat wing" near Aurora Ave.  After so many additions to the building it was assumed we would not need to house more than 2700 students.  However, we keep growing!

I hope this helps with some of the concerns about our school. It is a great place to work and learn! Signed, Jane Sharka, NCHS Librarian
