Big Hollow School District 38 is a school district in Grant Township, Lake County, Illinois. The district includes parts of the villages of Fox Lake, Lakemoor, Round Lake, and Volo.[7][8] Since 2007, it has had a single 62-acre (25 ha) campus,[2] at the corner of Fish Lake and Nippersink roads in Ingleside,[9] with three schools: Big Hollow Primary School, Big Hollow Elementary School, and Big Hollow Middle School.[10][11]

History

According to the district's website, the school district has been in operation since 1836.[2]

Around 1850 a 4th of an acre on the corner of what now is U.S. Route 12 and Illinois Route 134 in Ingleside near the village of Fox Lake[9][12] was donated by Mr. William B. D for a school in the big geographical hollow. They put up a log cabin with the desks fastened to the wall, with the teachers desk in the middle of the room. The building was heated by a wood stove and had few books. Teachers were originally paid with meat and then would sell the meat to someone for money.[13]

Then in 1873 the building was replaced with a frame building and the district bought more land. on the new building there was a blackboard and a bench around the stove in the middle of the room to keep the kids warm.[13]

In 1917 the building was once again remolded with new windows, desks and stove.[13]

In the 1940s, a new Big Hollow School was built on the southeast corner of the intersection. Additions were made in the 1950s and 1960s. Taverne Middle School was built to the south of Big Hollow School in 1972.[14][15]

The district experienced a population boom in the 1990s and 2000s. Ron Pazanin, who had served as school superintendent since 1990, retired in June 2012; in the 22 years that he was superintendent, the school system grew from 305 students to 1780, and from 18 teachers to 150 members of faculty and staff.[12]

The newest campus, on Nippersink Road, began operation in 2000 with only Big Hollow Primary School for kindergarten through second grade. Big Hollow Elementary School, for third through fifth grade, opened on the campus in August 2006.[10] Big Hollow Middle School, for sixth through eighth grades, opened in January 2007,[10][11] Taverine Middle School having closed in December 2006.[14]

In January 2011, the district had the two school buildings on the U.S. 12/Illinois 134 site torn down[14] and, in May 2012, arranged to sell the property to Interstate Partners for $2.8 million.[9]
