ZEIGLER, IL – (Illinois High School Glory Days. Please click on the link above. Here is an excerpt below.)
The School system in Zeigler is documented at http://www.zeigleril.com/pages/schools.htm. Zeigler began a school system soon after its first houses were built. As Zeigler grew and prospered so did the educational facilities. The first school house was the “Block School”, In the 1920s the school pictured abovewas built. This served the children until the 1960s when the building was demolished and a new building was erected. The grade school pictured below was used for the high school for a bout three years until the new building was finished.
The year was 1962 when the towns of Zeigler and Royalton agreed to consolidate
their efforts. The Zeigler-Royalton School District was established ending the solo efforts of the two towns. If you would like to add any information regarding Zeigler High School please e-mail us at eganann@sbcglobal.net.
