Due to the size of the student body, the students are split across two campuses. The Northfield campus was built in 1965 as a separate school, was closed in 1981 due to reduced enrollment, and reopened in 2001 as a freshmen-only campus. The Winnetka campus opened in 1901, and has served the community continually since then. The Winnetka campus currently houses sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The school currently boasts a two-building enrollment of approximately 4,000 students. Located on the border between Winetka and Kenilworth on Chicago North Shore (Chicago), the school serves some of Chicago's wealthiest suburbs including Wilmette, Illinois, Glencoe, Illinois, Winnetka, Illinois, and Kenilworth, Illinois. ==Overview== The school is ranked #293 on Newsweek's 2005 list of the Best High Schools in America. Many students and faculty raised objections to this list's technique of evaluating school based exclusively on the school's ratio of AP tests taken to students for the graduating class. [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7723397/site/newsweek/?page=3] The senior class has a long tradition of elaborate pranks. Some have included: * Letting loose three pigs within the halls bearing the numbers 1, 3, and 4 * Sending the master key to all the students * Placing a Yugo on the roof With so much affluence in the community, however, the school has also has had a notorious drug problem, as evinced by the 1996 cover article of Time Magazine titled "High Times at New Trier High."[http://www.time.com/time/archive/preview/0,10987,985657,00.html] Supposedly, New Trier, along with Evanston Township High School, was the inspiration for the 2004 film, Mean Girls starring Lindsay Lohan.[http://www.sun-times.com/output/lifestyles/cst-nws-mean04.html] New Trier currently has the most state championships of any high school in Illinois, with over 85, but none in Football or Basketball. In May 2005, New Trier was ranked #12 in Sports Illustrated's list of the Top 25 High School Sports Programs in America. The mascot is the Trevian, named after soldiers from the city of Trier, Germany during the Roman Empire. From 1901 to 1981, the school's teams were known as the Indians, which they were also called while they wer New Trier East. New Trier West was known as the Cowboys from 1965 until 1981 when the two schools merged. Its biggest public/conference rival is Evanston Township High School. The two basketball games that the two schools play each year draws so many people, that starting in he 2001-2002 school year, they began to play their games at Northwestern University's Welsh-Ryan Arena. The schools biggest non-conference/private rival is Loyola Academy, which is located in Wilmette, just down the road from the Northfield campus. The New Trier students have a saying, "Luck Foyola." ==Notable alumni== Notable alumni of New Trier High School include: * Ann Hampton Callaway, singer and songwriter * Ann-Margret, actress * Bobbi Brown, make-up artist * Charles Percy, United States Senate * Charlton Heston, actor * Christie Hefner, CEO for Playboy Enterprises * Clay Matthews, pro football player (Cleveland Browns 1978-1993, played in several Pro Bowls) * Donald Rumsfeld, United States Secretary of Defense * Jack Steinberger, Nobel Prize winning physicist * Judy Biggert, United States Republican Party member of the United States House of Representatives * Liesel Pritzker, sued Thomas Pritzker for $1 Billion * Liz Phair, singer * Ralph Bellamy, actor * Rock Hudson, actor * Scott Turow, author and lawyer * Virginia Madsen, actress ==External link== *[http://nths.newtrier.k12.il.us/ New Trier High School] *[http://terraserver.microsoft.com/addressimage.aspx?t=4&s=10&lon=-87.7662952149461&lat=42.0907340682239&alon=-87.76629842&alat=42.08892682&w=3&opt=0&qs=7+Happ+Rd%7cNorthfield%7cIllinois%7c&addr=7+S+Happ+Rd%2c+Winnetka%2c+IL+60093 Microsoft Terraserver satellite image of Northfield Campus] *[http://terraserver.microsoft.com/addressimage.aspx?t=4&s=10&lon=-87.7191177524774&lat=42.0953219954053&alon=-87.71912230&alat=42.0935167&w=3&opt=0&qs=385+Winnetka+Ave%7cWinnetka%7cIL%7c&addr=385+Winnetka+Ave%2c+Winnetka%2c+IL+60093 Microsoft Terraserver satellite image of Winnetka Campus] High schools in Illinois

==Clean up/Summary== I'm interested what does this article need clean-up for?--User:Marie_Rowley''_|_User_talk:Marie_Rowley">User:Marie Rowley|''User:Marie Rowley'' | User talk:Marie Rowley 01:27, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC) When I originally listed it, it was a mess. It's been cleaned up but the header not yet removed. User:RickKUser talk:RickK 01:30, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC) :Ohh ok thanks--User:Marie_Rowley''_|_User_talk:Marie_Rowley">User:Marie Rowley|''User:Marie Rowley'' | User talk:Marie Rowley 03:13, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC) It basically wraps up my school pretty well (I go here). There's nothing much more that you can add. --User:Peaceman ==Huh?== ''Rumsfeld? Rumsfeld? Rumsfeld...? If he really did graduated from here, then how come he is a Republican?'' ==A Famous Alumnus== Didn't the Satan graduate from New Trier? ''No, that's just a rumor. But I can see how you might think that.'' :User:SpiffSupreme ==New Trier Township, Illinois== There is an article at New Trier Township, Illinois that needs major work. Some of it is specifically about his high school, and should be merged here. Other parts are apparently about a township which consists of several seperate villages. I'm not familiar with the governmental structure of Illinois, but if anyone is, they are encouraged to help clean this article up. --User:BaronLarf 01:22, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
