Vernon Hills High School
Simple question- what the hell is that huge white structure "thing" near the football field. I drive pass it almost everyday and still can't figure it out   |

Isn't it for lights to illuminate the fields? In the top, center you will notice a missile tip design. This is due to history, it used to be a missile site.

How does the intradistrict match up workout?
For DHS and HPHS, Deerfield comes out on top. GBN tops GBS.
Who's considered best in district between VH and L'ville?

For football and other sports, Libertyville hands down. For academics, probably VH. |

I went to high school in the district. Libertyville has better sports teams, but I would say they are about equal in terms of fine arts and academics. Both very good schools.
