History edit
The former Oswego High School moved to this site in 1994 from an historic 1921 building near uptown Oswego. Following the high school's move, the former Oswego Junior High School moved from the former Westside School attendance center into the high school's former building and became Oswego Middle School, serving grades 6-8.[citation needed]
In 2015, Oswego USD 504 completed a large expansion at the Tomahawk Trail campus, and combined the two attendance centers, creating Oswego Junior Senior High School. Sixth grade students returned to the Neosho Heights Elementary School attendance center.[citation needed]
