Oak Park and River Forest High School, Secondary education institution in Oak Park, United States.
Oak Park and River Forest High School is a secondary school occupying a full block on Scoville Avenue, with multiple classroom buildings and athletic facilities spread across the campus. The layout groups educational and recreational spaces within a single campus area.
The school was founded in 1871 and relocated to its current site in 1907, becoming an important educational institution in suburban Chicago. This move marked the beginning of its growth as a major secondary school.
The school runs a television studio where students have been producing news programs since 1982, giving them hands-on experience with media work. This reflects how the institution supports students in exploring modern careers.
The school occupies a large, easily identifiable campus area filling an entire block along Scoville Avenue. Visitors can observe the facilities from the surrounding streets without needing special permission to view the exterior layout.
Rather than selecting a single valedictorian, the school awards a Scholarship Cup to all graduating seniors who achieve the highest grade point averages. This approach recognizes multiple top students instead of singling out just one.
