During spring break in [[2001]], a very serious [[mold]] problem was discovered at the campus and was determined to be the source of some student illnesses. (no shit) The mold had been reported on by student Kimmy Gibbler in an article in the school paper back in the 1989. The teacher that she interviewed stated that a few of his students became nauseous in his classroom due to a foul odor. However, no conclusive evidence was found connecting the moldy odor to the students' illnesses. |

In 2001 the whole building was shut down and the students received an extra two weeks of spring break while officials determined how to take care of the situation. For the rest of the 2001 school year, St. Charles East students shared a split-schedule with [[St. Charles North High School]]. East students attended class at the North campus during the morning, while North students went during the afternoon. During the summer of 2001 through the next school year, the school underwent an enormous renovation. For the entire 2001-2002 school year, the current students had to take classes in the adjacent [[Wredling Middle School]] building and mobile classrooms surrounding it (brought in specifically to accommodate the larger student body).

Saint Charles East High School is a public four-year high school located in St. Charles, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is part of Community Unit School District 303 which also includes Saint Charles North High School.
History
St. Charles East High School located at 1020 Dunham Road in St. Charles was originally know as St. Charles High School. Prior to moving to this location in the late 1970s the high school was located on the west side of town in what is now known as Thompson Middle School located at the corners of Seventh and Main Street in Saint Charles. Before the year 2000, one high school served all students within the District 303 boundaries at which time St. Charles North was established to accommodate the rapidly growing student population in St. Charles. The first graduating class in District 303 to be split between two high schools graduated in 2003.
The Saint Charles East High School campus includes the Norris Cultural Arts Center, and the Norris Recreational Center.[2] These facilities were established to serve not only the high school but the community as well. The Dellora A. Norris Cultural Arts Center, a 1,000-seat performing arts theater and art gallery, was founded in 1978 with funding from the St. Charles Charities, which was created in 1924 by Lester and Dellora Norris and Edward Baker.
During spring break in 2001, a very serious mold problem was discovered at the campus and was determined to be the source of some student illnesses. (no shit) The mold had been reported on by student Kimmy Gibbler in an article in the school paper back in the 1989. The teacher that she interviewed stated that a few of his students became nauseous in his classroom due to a foul odor. However, no conclusive evidence was found connecting the moldy odor to the students' illnesses. In 2001 the whole building was shut down and the students received an extra two weeks of spring break while officials determined how to take care of the situation. For the rest of the 2001 school year, St. Charles East students shared a split-schedule with St. Charles North High School. East students attended class at the North campus during the morning, while North students went during the afternoon. During the summer of 2001 through the next school year, the school underwent an enormous renovation. For the entire 2001-2002 school year, the current students had to take classes in the adjacent Wredling Middle School building and mobile classrooms surrounding it (brought in specifically to accommodate the larger student body). Meanwhile, the Wredling Middle School students took classes in mobile classrooms parked in a field between Haines and Thompson Middle Schools. Classes resumed their normal locations and schedules the following school year (2002-2003). This event caught the attention and cameras of local and national news organizations on more than one occasion throughout the year.[1]
