[1] [2]. School buildings in Tiskilwa date all the way back to 1838. A newer building was built in 1850 and an updated building in 1868. In 1978 the building still standing today was built and closed with the deactivation of the school system in 1996. The first class to graduate high school from Tiskilwa did so in 1878 with a graduating class membership of two.


The newer high school building pictured above is currently vacant, however plans are constantly being discussed for its future use. The old football field in Tiskilwa was going to be used by the Princeton Youth Football League. That never materialized and now it sits empty with no future plans to host any events at that location. Much of the history information for this writing was obtained from a book written by Mary B.
