Dundee-Crown High School is a high school located in Carpentersville, Illinois, United States, a suburb of Chicago. Dundee-Crown High School was made from consolidating Dundee Community High School and Irving Crown High school in 1983. It is a AAA school for IHSA sports. Dundee-Crown boasts a 2,529 population and is one of three High Schools in Community School District 300. The school serves people from Carpentersville, the east half of Algonquin, East Dundee, West Dundee, Sleepy Hollow, southwest Cary, southwest Fox River Grove and western Barrington Hills. ==History== Dundee Community High School was opened in the late 1864 to serve members of the Dundee community settlement in Northwest Illinois. The school was located at the corner of 6th Street and Kane Street on a hill overlooking the Fox River. The building is now called the Union School Apartments. In the 1920s a separate high school building was built on Western Ave. (Illinois Route 31) and Hillside Street, on the northern edge of West Dundee. This school would hold the only State Champion team in the combined school history in 1938 with its boys basketball team under Coach Eugene de Lacey. In 1953, the school district obtained federal funds to build a new building at 300 Cleveland Avenue in Carpentersville, and the old building became Dundee Junior High School/Dundee Middle School. However, Spain Field located immediately to the north of the old school was retained for varsity sports. The school would remain at that location from 1953 until 1983. The school served all of District 300 except for Hampshire. Irving Crown High school was built in 1965 when the communities being served grew too large for one school to hold. Crown opened with just sophomores and juniors, with seniors being allowed to graduate from Dundee. The Irving Crown Vikings were housed at the building that is now Dundee-Crown. At this time, both schools served grades 10-12. In 1969, District 300 shifted to a middle school system, where both schools served grades 9-12. Subsequently, District 300 experienced dramatic population growth west of the Fox River, and Jacobs High School was opened. The remaining population did not justify two high schools on the east side of the Fox River, and in 1983, the once rival Cardunals (for Carpentersville, Dundee, Algonquin) and Vikings became the Chargers beginning in 1984. The combined program is housed in the former Crown High School building, and the Dundee Community High School building became a middle school. The old Dundee Middle School and Spain Field were sold for development and are now the Spring Hill Marketplace Shopping Center. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dundee-Crown High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
