History

The present NCHS structure is on Aurora Avenue just outside the downtown business district in Naperville. The building is within walking distance of the Naperville Riverwalk park/trail network, and is just north of Knoch Park and the Edward Hospital campus. The school is across the street from the historic

. Naperville High school was established in 1916. The oldest part of the current building, known by some as the "3-Story Wing," was constructed in 1950. The current Naperville Central building has received building additions in 1955, 1963, 1968, 1987, 1992 and 2009. For the 1992–93 school year, three projects in three independent locations added a Student Services wing in the northeast part of the building (demolished in the summer of 2010 to make way for an addition), an auditorium in the northwest part of the building and a

in the southern part of the building. Prior additions included a field house and renovations to the former student cafeteria area in the late 1980s, the former school library, and a large single-story classroom wing, known as the ''Flat Wing''. There was an increasing concern about the safety and reliability of Naperville Central. Complaints of lack of building organization, aging infrastructure, and inadequate educational spaces cause it to be the main focus of Naperville School District 203's "Facilities Task Force". After a 59% voter passage of a $43 million referendum, the school underwent a massive renovation to completely renovate approximately 75% of the school's footprint. On the 27th of May, 2009 ground was broken on the renovation. The renovation had the three-story wing undergo a mix of new construction and remodeling in order to house all major subject areas. It also moved and updated the learning resource center, it added physical education and music spaces, it reduced building entrances and put synthetic turf on the football field. At the start of the 2011 school year, renovations were completed, and the school was fully re-opened.

Plagiarism scandal

In 2008, principal Jim Caudill plagiarized a speech he gave to graduating seniors. The speech originally came from Megan Nowicki-Plackett, a teacher at the time who was formerly a student at the school. Earlier in the year, Caudill had fired a newspaper adviser earlier over profanity, which began a free speech debate among the community. The school district ultimately decided to remove Caudill from his principal position and reassign him to oversight of construction during renovations. Caudill was replaced by Bill Wiesbrook the following year. Wiesbrook was hired in 1996 and previously had worked as a dean to students and assistant principal of operations.

Mummy

One of the most notable displays at the school is an Egyptian mummy, also known as "Butch". It is stored in a glass case on the second floor of the school. The mummy was donated to the school in the 1940s by local doctor, who had purchased it in a curio shop. The mummy was wrapped up and forgotten in an attic at the school until it was accidentally rediscovered by a teacher in 1975. The mummy underwent restoration in the 1990s at the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute. In 2002, the
