History
Yorkville dates back to 1893, and opened up a new building in 1998. The current main campus building was built on the former Illinois State Game Farm, which raised pheasants and other gaming birds. The Yorkville High School Academy opened in the fall of 2008 for Freshmen students.
United States Congressman for Illinois' 14th district and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert spent 16 years teaching at Yorkville from 1964-1980, primarily government and history classes.
