History
Original structure
Although the village of
Barrington incorporated in 1865,
the area did not have a dedicated permanent high school until 1949.
[http://www.barringtonarealibrary.org/local/part3] Before that, Barrington had a K-12 school on Hough Street. On February 8, 1947, the village held an election to choose a site for a new high school.
Of approximately 1,414 ballots cast, 1,013 were cast in favor of selecting the current location on West Main Street.
Voters also granted the village authority to purchase the 70-acre site, issue
bonds for the high school's construction, and build the high school.
The original purchase price for the site was $37,000.00.
At the time, some residents complained that the tract bought had been too large; the opposition countered that unless the tract stretched far to the north, other residents and/or businesses might purchase that land, and the board would not be able to buy the land as cheaply later.
The Consolidated High School Board of Education, no
Community Unit School District 220 consulted authorities on location, educational needs and the most fitting type of building allowing for future planning.
The board engaged the architectural firm of
Perkins and Will
Perkins&Will is a global design practice founded in 1935. Since 1986, the group has been a subsidiary of Lebanon-based Dar Al-Handasah (Arabic: دار الهندسة). Phil Harrison has been the firm's CEO since 2006.
History
The firm was establ ...
to design the original structure.
The village issued $940,000.00 in bonds for the site and building; however, due to rising construction prices
at the time, the high school as planned could not be completed for that amount.
On June 12, 1948, an election increased the authorization for such bonds by an additional $328,000.00 by a decision of 388 to 71.

on the high school took place on July 10, 1948, and engineer George Gilfeather supervised the ensuing construction almost daily.
Classes began in the new building on September 12, 1949 under Superintendent F.C. Thomas.
Additions and expansions
In February 1955, an election to expand the high school granted a bond issue of $850,000.00 by a vote of 880 to 117.
These funds were used to add a wing to the west end of the building that connected the school to the gymnasium and add a second story to the original building at the north end; these additions were completed in September 1956.
On November 8, 1958, voters permitted bonds in the amount of $1,600,000.00 to be used for a further addition on the east side of the building, including twenty-three classrooms, an auxiliary gymnasium, and an auditorium.
These improvements began in 1959 and were completed in the fall of 1960.
In 1999, Barrington voters approved an additional bond issuance for substantial remodeling and expansion of the high school. This expansion included updating the building's classroom and athletic facilities as well as adding additional accommodations for the school's approximately 2,400 students.

Barrington High School reported that, in 2011, its students scored a composite average of 25 on the
