Edwardsville High School

Edwardsville Senior High School is a public high school located in Edwardsville, Illinois.

Edwardsville High School was first located on North Kansas Street in downtown Edwardsville. Due to the expansion of the town, a new high school was commissioned in 1921. Today, the first building is Columbus Elementary School. The second Edwardsville High School was completed in 1925, on 145 West Street. Rather than rebuild a bigger school, it was expanded over the years to meet the demands of the growing school district.

In 1993, Edwardsville High school was unable to be expanded any longer, and a motion was passed to turn the old High School into a middle school, and build a new state of the art High School at 6161 Center Grove Road. The current Edwardsville High School complex was completed in 1996 by the Korte Company and began regular use in 1997

In September 2024, the High School began an expansion project that increased the size of the cafeteria and commons to address overcrowding and improve saftey during lunchtime. The expansion added 8,000 square feet and increased capacity to around 900 students. It features large floor-to-ceiling windows to increase natural lighting and create a more open and inviting atmosphere for students to gather and eat. The expansion of the commons was completed for the new school year in August 2025; students also noticed design changes such as the incorporation of school colors, better lighting, and extra space on the second floor. In addition to a redesign of the cafeteria, there was also the installation of 18 gender-neutral, single-stall restrooms adjacent to the commons. The stalls were isolated rooms with large doors so students can have maximum privacy, while the shared sink area remains visible from the main lobby to ensure better security and staff monitoring.
