Construction Of $44m Mchenry School District 156 Expansion To Begin This Summer

McHenry High School District 156’s improvement and expansion plan has cleared another hurdle. The McHenry Planning and Zoning Commission gave a positive recommendation for the plan this week, although some commissioners brought up concerns with traffic around the high schools. District 156 plans to complete $44 million in renovations at both campuses and construct a 64,000-square-foot addition at McHenry High School – West Campus. The ultimate plan is to turn McHenry East into a campus for freshmen only, and have all sophomores, juniors and seniors attend the newly expanded McHenry West.
