Elk Grove High School, or EGHS, is a public four-year high school located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, a northwest suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is part of Township High School District 214, which also includes Buffalo Grove High School, John Hersey High School, Prospect High School, Rolling Meadows High School, and Wheeling High School. The school services most of Elk Grove Village, as well as small portions of Des Plaines and Arlington Heights. ==History== Elk Grove High School opened in 1966, initially servicing students from the older Elk Grove Village area. With the closing of Forest View High School on June 13th, 1986, some Des Plaines students from FVHS relocated to EGHS, while the other portion of FVHS' students began attending Prospect High School and Rolling Meadows High School. EGHS jumped in attendance from around 1300 in 1985-86 to just over 2200 for the 87-88 year (freshman made up 400 students, sophomores 500, juniors 600, and seniors had a class size of 700). FVHS classes of '87 and '88 were allowed to decide between EGHS, PHS, and RMHS. FVHS class of '89 were assigned to schools based on where they lived. In 2004, the EGHS natatorium was built, giving EGHS swimming teams their own pool. Boys' and girls' water polo teams were created as well. EGHS currently shares its pool with aquatic teams from Rolling Meadows High School. In 2006, EGHS started its annual Grenaissance, a day devoted to the arts that includes hands-on workshops and demonstrations in areas such as Computer Graphics, Music, Dance, Stage Acting/Performances, and others. In 2008's Grenaissance, it was announced that Grenaissance would become biannual due to financial problems . During the first week of the 2007-2008 school year, EGHS was closed for one day due to the flooding of nearby Salt Creek. The flooding completely submerged the varsity baseball fields and partially covered the football/track and soccer areas. The back parking lots were also partially submerged, and power was temporarily lost.〔(Salt Creek 1 sur Flickr : partage de photos ! )〕 Elk Grove High School shares its original layout with Wheeling High School. The courtyard, lunchroom, and academic classrooms are located in the same places, although since the additions of the natatorium, the BTLS/Graphic Arts wing, the Fieldhouse, and the northwestern Science/Math wing to EGHS, considerable differences have been raised. A few scenes from ''the 2010 remake'' of ''A Nightmare on Elm Street'' were filmed at Elk Grove High School in the first week of May 2009.〔(Zalusky, Steve; ''Freddie's coming to Elk Grove Hersey high schools''; 27 April 2009; ''Daily Herald''; accessed 28 April 2009 )〕 One scene in ''Fred: The Movie'' disguised the school as Lawrence Middle School. 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「Elk Grove High School (Elk Grove Village, Illinois)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
