Tax hike sought for expansion, renovations at Mundelein High School mundeleinhs mundelein_il muneleinparks mundelein75
Voters in Mundelein High School District 120 will decide whether to support a $175 million tax increase as part of an extensive renovation and expansion at the school, which opened in 1961.
"We don't have the right kind of space for a variety of purposes and we need to keep pace with our growth," Superintendent Kevin Myers said in a news release Wednesday. The school auditorium, main gym and cafeteria are original and designed for 1,500 students, and limited space requires four lunch periods. The current enrollment is about 2,206.
The work will involve reconfiguring the school in some areas but keeping the footprint. A field house addition would be built on the north end of the building, said district spokesman Peter Gill.
