Neuqua Valley High School (NVHS) is a public four year high school located near the corner of Illinois Route 59 and 95th Street in Naperville, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. Neuqua Valley is the counterpart to Waubonsie Valley High School and Metea Valley High School, in Indian Prairie School District 204. Classrooms can be rented for other district approved teachers to use after school. History
The campus consists of two locations. The Birkett Freshman Center building houses freshmen. The Main Campus, the original building, houses sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The original Neuqua Valley campus building was opened in August 1997, and was built to house 3000 students. The school cost $63 million to build, which at the time was the most expensive high school in Illinois, and was the largest high school built in the state in nearly eighty years. The school is named after Neaqua, a Potawatomi, and son of Waubonsie. Starting with the 2003–2004 academic year, the nearby middle school (Crone Middle School) was converted to house the freshman class in an effort to alleviate overcrowding. From that point on, the freshmen attended class at the Freshman Center, and the Main Campus housed only the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. A third building that was completed around 2007, the Frontier Campus, allowed seniors to receive dual credit for classes from the College of DuPage. These students attended class in block sessions with no classes on Friday. It allowed for independence and freedom. Seniors from Waubonsie Valley High School also participated in the program. The Frontier Campus option was closed in 2012. The lake behind the school is known as "Lake Birkett", in honor of the school's first principal, Kathryn Birkett, also the namesake of the Freshman Campus building, in honor of her service as district superintendent until 2014. Neuqua Valley was designed by the architecture firm ATS&R. The design is based on one of the firm's prior projects in Minnesota. The firm used the design again for a high school in Pennsylvania that opened in 1999. In September 2017, Neuqua Valley became the first high school in District 204 to be named a National Blue Ribbon School. Demographics

In 2011, Neuqua Valley had an average composite ACT score of 25.2, and graduated 99.1% of its senior class. In 2013, US News ranked Neuqua Valley 563rd in their annual list of the top American public high schools. However, Neuqua Valley has not met federal education standards under the No Child Left Behind law.

Кампус состоит из двух площадок. В здании Birkett Freshman Center обучаются ученики первого года обучения. Главный кампус, первоначальное здание, предназначен для учеников второго, третьего и четвертого годов обучения. Оригинальное здание кампуса Neuqua Valley было открыто в августе 1997 года и рассчитано на 3000 учеников. Строительство школы обошлось в 63 миллиона долларов, что на тот момент было самым дорогим проектом средней школы в Иллинойсе и крупнейшей средней школой, построенной в штате за почти восемьдесят лет. Школа названа в честь Неакуа, представителя племени потаватоми, и сына Ваубонси. Начиная с 2003–2004 учебного года, расположенная поблизости средняя школа (Crone Middle School) была переоборудована для размещения учеников первого года обучения, чтобы решить проблему переполненности. С тех пор ученики первого года посещали занятия в Центре для первокурсников, а в Главном кампусе обучались только ученики второго, третьего и четвертого годов. Третье здание, строительство которого было завершено около 2007 года, Frontier Campus, позволило ученикам старших классов получать двойные зачеты за курсы, изучаемые в College of DuPage. Эти ученики посещали занятия в блочной системе, без занятий по пятницам, что способствовало их самостоятельности и свободе. В этой программе также участвовали ученики старших классов из средней школы Waubonsie Valley. Возможность обучения на Frontier Campus была закрыта в 2012 году. Озеро, расположенное за школой, известно как «Озеро Биркетт» в честь первого директора школы, Кэтрин Биркетт, а также в честь ее службы в качестве районного суперинтенданта до 2014 года – в ее честь названо здание кампуса для первокурсников. Neuqua Valley была спроектирована архитектурной фирмой ATS&R. Дизайн основан на одном из предыдущих проектов фирмы в Миннесоте. Фирма повторно использовала этот дизайн для средней школы в Пенсильвании, открытой в 1999 году. В сентябре 2017 года Neuqua Valley стала первой средней школой в округе 204, удостоенной звания National Blue Ribbon School.

Neuqua Valley High School (NVHS) is a public four year high school located near the corner of Illinois Route 59 and 95th Street in Naperville, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. Neuqua Valley is the counterpart to Waubonsie Valley High School and Metea Valley High School, in Indian Prairie School District 204. Classrooms can be rented for other district approved teachers to use after school. History
The campus consists of two locations. The Birkett Freshman Center building houses freshmen. The Main Campus, the original building, houses sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The original Neuqua Valley campus building was opened in August 1997, and was built to house 3000 students. The school cost $63 million to build, which at the time was the most expensive high school in Illinois, and was the largest high school built in the state in nearly eighty years. The school is named after Neaqua, a Potawatomi, and son of Waubonsie. Starting with the 2003–2004 academic year, the nearby middle school (Crone Middle School) was converted to house the freshman class in an effort to alleviate overcrowding. From that point on, the freshmen attended class at the Freshman Center, and the Main Campus housed only the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. A third building that was completed around 2007, the Frontier Campus, allowed seniors to receive dual credit for classes from the College of DuPage. These students attended class in block sessions with no classes on Friday. It allowed for independence and freedom. Seniors from Waubonsie Valley High School also participated in the program. The Frontier Campus option was closed in 2012. The lake behind the school is known as "Lake Birkett", in honor of the school's first principal, Kathryn Birkett, also the namesake of the Freshman Campus building, in honor of her service as district superintendent until 2014. Neuqua Valley was designed by the architecture firm ATS&R. The design is based on one of the firm's prior projects in Minnesota. The firm used the design again for a high school in Pennsylvania that opened in 1999. In September 2017, Neuqua Valley became the first high school in District 204 to be named a National Blue Ribbon School. Demographics
