Durand High School (DHS) is a public high school in Durand, Illinois, United States. It is part of the Durand Community Unit School District No. 322, which became a consolidated district in 1949 when the State of Illinois mandated that large school districts be created from small or rural unit districts, therefore, the Elton, Laona and Durand communities were consolidated into Durand's High School.[http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs4.asp?DocName=010500050HArt%2E+10&ActID=1005&ChapterID=17&SeqStart=61700000&SeqEnd=86600000 Illinois School Code(105 ILCS 5/10-21.2)]
