History

Illini Bluffs High School was formed out of the consolidation of Glasford, Kingston Mines, and Mapleton schools at some point in the 1900s. Surrounding communities may have also possessed high schools at some time which were consolidated into the current IBHS. Potential reference/citation:[4][5][6]

Timber Township High School District #159 was formed in 1916.[7] The first graduating class of 29 students took place in 1918.[7]

In 1922, several rural schoolhouses in Glasford and Kingston Mines were consolidated into one district, Consolidated District #205.[7] In 1944 to 1948, additional schools were added to the district from Hollis, Limestone, and Logan townships.[7]

In 1969-1970, Timber Township High School #159 combined with District #205 and other area schools (Lancaster, Mapleton, Westwood, Wheeler) to become Illini Bluffs Unit School District #327.[7]
