Aledo High School Building

Constructed in the 1950s

The History of Aledo High School
 
Aledo (population 3,613) is located in upper-western Illinois in the center of Mercer County and has served as the county seat since 1857. Aledo is situated at the intersection of Illinois Route 17 and Illinois Route 94.  The Mississippi River flows about 12 miles west of Aledo. Country singing superstar Suzy Bogguss calls Aledo her hometown.
 
We know that Aledo was chartered as an official Illinois town in 1855.  It served as the home of Aledo Academy, Roosevelt Military Academy (1924-73), and William and Vashti College (1908-1917).  The history of the town and its educatonal system is in need of research.  The town's official website can be viewed at http://www.aledo-il.org/index.php .
 
We are certain that Aledo residents began offering educational opportunities to their children in the mid 1800s.  Aledo High School was established during the later years of the Aledo Acaedmy, and in turn contributed to the latter school's demise. In Eric Long's research of the Academy, "... the Aledo Academy did its duty as a fine school until the Aledo High School became an academically stronger institution." This took placed during the late 1880s to early 1890s. Aledo High School served the community through 2009. It was in 2008 and 2009 that Aledo residents and residents whose children attended nearby Joy Westmer High School began researching a possibility of consolidating their efforts.  This decision was agreed upon by both sides and finalized in 2008.
 
The 2008-09 school year would be the final one for the school known as the Aledo High School "Green Dragons".  Beginning with the 2009-10 school year, Aledo High School will now be known as the Mercer County High School "Golden Eagles".  Mercer County High School will hold classes in Aledo at the former Aledo High School building.

FOOTBALL
 
The beginning of the Aledo football program didn't have the best results in it's first season (1915-16). However, through the years the Green Dragon football program has been all about success. In 2007, Aledo entered a cooperative agreement with Westmer High. Four times the Green Dragons had undefeated years, with three of them occuring before the "playoff era." And how about after the advent of the playoffs? How about THREE State Championships and THREE runner-ups, all occuring between 1988 and 2006! We'll let the results speak for itself ...

BOYS TRACK & FIELD
 
Twenty-six State Meet medalists! The Green Dragon Boys Track program has had great athletes all throughout the school's history: going back to R. Sheese's 1925 State Championship effort in the 1 Mile Run, and going all the way to the 4x100 Relay teams 2009 State Championship and Kyle Tompkins' efforts in the 110 High Hurdles as well. The efforts came just months after the community learned of the consolidation of Aledo and Westmer.
