Foundation
Due to growth in the Calumet City-Lansing Il area, Thornton Fractional South High School was opened in 1958 to subsidize the student population. The original high school in Calumet City that first opened in 1926 was renamed from Thornton Township High School to Thornton Fractional North High School. The Center for Academics and Technology was later built between the two high schools in Calumet City and opened for T.F. South and T.F. North students to take classes there that may not be available at one of the two high schools.
