I found out yesterday that I have 7 weeks until I have relocate to Scott AFB. The most important thing to me right now is making sure I find a good high school for my sons (9th and 11th grade next year). Marching band is very important to my older son. Soccer is very important to the younger. Both are "into" technology, with the older wanting to be a computer engineer. The school must have good honors and AP classes. Can someone help guide me in the right direction?

It appears that I have read this thread a little too late to help the original poster, but others may be looking for info.

I met a family that moved here last year and their children are doing quite well in the Mascoutah School district. And their son really enjoys the marching band there.

There are many good school districts in the area. If you are looking for schools with good academics, a good place to start is the Illinois Interactive Report Card. (http://iirc.niu.edu) You can look up schools test scores and see how they compare with others in the area. And then look up the corresponding school's website to find out if it has the other activities that are important to your children.
