Schaumburg High School, also known as SHS, is a public four-year high school located in Schaumburg, Illinois, a northwest suburb of Chicago, Illinois, United States. The school is part of Township High School District 211, which also includes William Fremd High School, Hoffman Estates High School, Palatine High School, and James B. Conant High School.
Schaumburg High School opened on September 17, 1970, located 31 miles northwest of downtown Chicago near Woodfield. It is accredited by the North Central Association and has earned full recognition status by the State Superintendent of Schools in the State of Illinois.
SHS serves students who reside in Schaumburg, the south side of Hoffman Estates and the northern Cook County section of Hanover Park.
In 1993 the United States Department of Education recognized Schaumburg High School as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. In 1996 SHS was recognized by Redbook magazine as one of “America’s Best Schools.” In 1999 they were one of 96 high schools nationwide recognized as an outstanding high school by U.S. News & World Report.
In late 2008, SHS underwent a massive reconstruction product in which 13 new classrooms, a new grand foyer, busport, administration center, three new science labs, and handicap accessibility were added to the high school. This was a part of the larger District 211 construction projects on Conant, Hoffman Estates, and Schaumburg High Schools.
