Athleticsedit

"We Are Central"edit
Central 301 was founded in 1948 in the era of consolidation. Leaders at that time chose the name because it was a central location between Burlington High School and Plato Center High School in rural Kane County. As the two districts (along with Lily Lake) worked through the process of consolidation, a new junior / senior high school was constructed along Plato Road and opened to Grades 7-12 in 1957.
The building went through several rounds of expansion. It also experienced a devastating fire that destroyed the gym and cafeteria in January 1986.[6] In the coming years as growth continued in the area, voters approved a referendum to construct a new high school adjacent to the building. The current high school opened on "Rocket Hill" in 1991, while the original high school is now Central Middle School.
The name "Burlington" has never been a part of the formal name for either the district or the high school. Students from Elgin, South Elgin, Campton Hills and Pingree Grove encompass an overwhelming majority of the 1,400 students at Central High School. The district uses the "We Are Central" motto as a way to engage students from nearly a dozen communities in Kane County.
