HistoryProphetstown High School consolidated with Lyndon High School in 1969. Lyndon-Prophetstown then condolidated with Tampico High School in 1996. The name of Prophetstown High School was maintained. Lyndon High SchoolLyndon's school system goes back to 1854. A two-story building was built in 1873. Another school was built sometime around the start of the 20th century and housed the high school until 1960, when the building above was built. This building is pictured to the right as well. Sometime in the late 1960s a consolidation effort was initiated with nearby Prophetstown High School. This effort became a reality in 1969. The gymnasium is still in use, as the home court for the Sterling Christian (located in Galt) Basketball teams.[13]When Lyndon and Prophetstown consolidated, the Lyndon High School closed after the 1968-69 school year. The Lyndon High School then became the Lyndon Junior High School housing the 7th and 8th grade classes. The original Lyndon High School housed just the 6th grade classes. Prophetstown-Lyndon and Tampico consolidated beginning with the 1996-97 school year. The schools in Lyndon then closed up completely.[14] Tampico High SchoolThe history of Tampico Schools date back to 1874. Until 1912, the high school only had three grades. The brick building that housed TTHS for 75 years was built in 1921 and had 14 classrooms and a gymnasium. It was located near a railroad junction of the Hooppole, Yorktown & Tampico Railroad and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. The first mentioned was abandoned in 1953. In 1967, there were 153 students enrolled at TTHS. In the 1980s, Tampico lost its main railroad, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy route, that was the reason Tampico became a settlement like most other small towns. Declining enrollment and financial concerns led to the closing of Tampico High School in 1996. The 1921 brick building was torn down during the summer of 2012 as part of a district wide facility improvement plan.. As of 2003, the old football field is still there, along with the padded hitting machine which is now rusted. The track outside of the field is still there in cement form. High School students from Tampico now attend Prophetstown High School, twelve miles to the northwest.[15] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/schoolsearch/school_detail.asp?Search=1&DistrictID=1732830&ID=173283003400|title=Prophetstown High School|publisher=National Center for Education Statistics|accessdate=February 17, 2019}} 2. ^http://www.plt3.org/ 3. ^http://www.ihsa.org/school/schools/1644.htm 4. ^https://www.census.gov/prod/2008pubs/09statab/app2.pdf 5. ^http://iirc.niu.edu/ 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.plt3.org/phs/OurSchool/index.asp |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-02-03 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090602081454/http://www.plt3.org/phs/OurSchool/index.asp |archivedate=2009-06-02 |df= }} 7. ^http://www.ihsa.org/school/schools/1644.htm 8. ^http://www.ihsa.org/school/records/sum1644.htm 9. ^http://www.ihsa.org/school/coop.htm 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.plt3.org/phs/OurSchool/index.asp |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-02-03 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090602081454/http://www.plt3.org/phs/OurSchool/index.asp |archivedate=2009-06-02 |df= }} 11. ^http://www.ihsa.org/school/schools/1644.htm 12. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.plt3.org/phs/Activities/ |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-02-03 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081225005133/http://www.plt3.org/phs/Activities/ |archivedate=2008-12-25 |df= }} 13. ^http://www.illinoishsglorydays.com/id82.html Illinois High School Glory Days, Lyndon High School, Accessed February 3, 2010 14. ^http://www.illinoishsglorydays.com/id82.html Harold and Kurt Glazier, Illinois High School Glory Days, Lyndon High School, Accessed February 3, 2010 15. ^http://www.illinoishsglorydays.com/id19.html External links
