History
Kankakee High School was established in 1906 and served students until 1966. In 1966, KHS split into two schools*, one called Kankakee Eastridge High School and the other called Kankakee Westview High School. These two schools operated until 1983 when it unified once again to form the "new" Kankakee High School. The new KHS location, serving grades 9-12, occupied the former Westview building, with the former Eastridge building becoming Kankakee's junior high school.- Interestingly, the new high schools were duplicates of each other architecturally.
