Current Dixon High School
Dixon High School (DHS) is a high school located on Lincoln Statue Drive and Peoria Avenue on the northern side of Dixon, Illinois. In 1918 the north (North Dixon High School) and south (South Central High School) districts were consolidated into one district and it was decided that a new, larger high school was needed. The new $600,000 High School was completed in 1929. The school replaced the North Dixon High School and the South Central High School. In 1959 two large wings and a new gymnasium were added. It serves students in grades 9-12 on a partially open campus. Freshman Academy was implemented in 2007. Less than 800 students currently attend DHS. Students at Dixon High School have the opportunity to attend classes at the Whiteside Area Career Center in Sterling IL. The gymnasium was named for a former superintendent of the school, A.H. Lancaster. Mike Grady is the current Principal(Source: Pictorial History of Lee County Schools)

“But human experience is usually paradoxical, that means incongruous with the phrases of current talk or even current philosophy.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear, your true love’s coming,
That can sing both high and low.
Trip no further, pretty sweeting.
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man’s son doth know.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
