Kaneland first opened in 1958.
In Molitor v. Kaneland Community Unit District 302, Illinois opened up school districts to civil lawsuits. The case was over a bus crash during the early years of the school. The father of a student injured in the crash sued for $56,000. The court stated that public school districts should not be immune from civil tort action.[3]
Kaneland's graduating class of 2014 had an average composite ACT score of 22.2, the highest in the school's history, and graduated 100.0% of its senior class. Kaneland has made Adequate Yearly Progress on the Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE), a state test part of the No Child Left Behind Act.[4] In 2013, the school was placed on the Illinois Honor Roll for significantly improving its performance on the PSAE.[5]
Kaneland competes in the Interstate Eight Conference and Illinois High School Association. They have a total of eleven Illinois High School State Championships, in football (1997, 1998), boys' track and field (1975, 1977), girls' track and field (1987, 1988, 2016), boys' cross country (1987, 2019), girls' basketball (1982), and baseball (2011).
Kaneland went to the playoffs in football eight times in the past ten school years. From 2010 to 2013, Kaneland did not lose a regular season game.
