After the first North Kankakee School District was organized in December 1892, classes were held in the Wesley United Methodist Church.
An elementary school building was constructed in 1894. See picture below left. The high school is in the building attached to the back.
In 1898, a wing was added to the east side of the building. The second floor classrooms were used for second- and third-year high school students.
Further additions to the school were made in 1910 and 1912. The old grade school was replaced by a new central school building in the early 1960's.
A new high school was started in Sept. 1948 to replace the old one.

Page 48 of the 1932 yearbook has another history of the Bradley school district.
