:Evanston Township High School

The first high school in Evanston, the Preparatory School of Northwestern University, established in 1857, was a private institute. In 1873, public school superintendent Otis E. Haven began teaching Evanston's first public high school class in an upper room of the Benson Avenue School. In 1875, Evanston's first Board of Education voted to establish a "high school" in the room, and the first class, consisting of two students, graduated in 1876. Enrollments grew rapidly and, despite multiple relocations to various buildings, by 1882 the school took four prizes in a statewide competition and was ranked third best in Illinois. Shortly thereafter, voters in April 1882, passed a referendum and bond issue establishing a township school. Construction began promptly in October 1882, and the first building opened in 1883, at Dempster and Elmwood.{{cite book |last=Board of Education District 202 |url=https://libsysdigi.library.uiuc.edu/OCA/Books2008-09/historyofevansto00davi/historyofevansto00davi.pdf |title=History of Evanston Township High School: First Seventy-Five Years |edition=1 |editor-last=Hack |editor-first=Clarence |location=Evanston, IL |year=1963 |pages=7–13 }}

Enrollment grew rapidly and by 1913, despite multiple additions to the original building, 740 students occupied space meant for only 600. Crowding increased as several attempts to pass bond issues for further addition were defeated at the polls. In 1915, the Board determined to build a new school at a new location, but progress was stalled for years by a bitter fight over the campus location, which included lawsuits that went all the way to the Illinois Supreme Court. Finally, in 1921, the Board and voters approved a {{convert|55|acre|m2|adj=on}} site at the school's current campus, 1600 Dodge Avenue in central Evanston. Construction began in 1923, and the school opened in 1924.{{cite book | last = Hach | first = Clarence W. | title = History of Evanston Township High School: First Seventy-Five Years | publisher = Dist. 202 Bd. of Ed. | year = 1963 | location = Evanston, IL | pages = 57–65 }}

With a campus currently listed as 65 acres (263,000 m²), ETHS provides its students with many technically proficient facilities. With more than 1.2 million square feet indoors, it is often claimed to be the largest high school facility under one roof in the United States, although this claim is uncertain. The school's science facilities include a planetarium, greenhouse, and a two-acre (8,000 m²), on-site nature center/classroom. The South Technology Center (STC), formerly the Bacon Computer Center, houses over 200 computers in seven networked labs. Computer software is available for many courses in the curriculum and the STC is open to students and classes during all school hours. Near the school, across Dodge Ave. on the corner of Davis St., is the Edible Acre urban farming project, initiated by The Talking Farm, which is run with the help of ETHS volunteers during the growing season.{{cite news |last=Bodine |first=Anne |url=https://evanstonroundtable.com/2019/09/18/eths-edible-acre-celebrates-10-years-with-community-garden-walk/ |title=ETHS Edible Acre Celebrates 10 Years With Community Garden Walk |work=Evanston Round Table |date=2019-09-18 |access-date=2024-10-11 }}

Students investigate careers in computer-based SMART Labs. An on-site day-care center serves as a lab for child-study classes. Career and Technical Education offers courses that prepare students for future career possibilities. Classes include Child Development, Business Management, Culinary Arts, where students work hands on with food, and learn how to prepare it in a safe and sanitary way, and Auto-Tech, where students run an auto-repair lab and learn engineering applications in computer-aided design, lasers and robotics using state-of-the-art equipment. Music students have their own computer lab with MIDI-enabled equipment.{{Cite web |title=Library and Media Services |url=https://www.eths.k12.il.us/Page/459 |access-date=2024-10-11}}
