History
History
St. Charles High School began as a two-year high school in 1899, expanding to a four-year program in 1902. Originally located at Fourth and Jefferson Streets, it is situated at the former home of the St. Charles Military Academy, to which it moved after a fire in 1918. The campus began with one building in 1923 and had expanded to four by the 1965–66 school year. Within a decade, overcrowding led to the division of the district into two high schools. The school became racially integrated in 1955.
