The musical, written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The show was originally written and staged in Chicago and is set in 1959 at fictional Rydell High School, which was based on Taft High School in Chicago and named after rock singer Bobby Rydell. The story follows working-class teenagers, known as Greasers, and their peers, as they navigate friendship, love, and teenage rebellion. Familiar songs include “Summer Nights,” “You’re the One That I Want,” “We Got Together,” and “Greased Lightning.”
We invite all new National Honor Society members and their families to the Induction Ceremony on Wednesday!

We were made aware of a threat against the school around midnight. There is a lot of inaccurate information out on social media regarding this matter. Please know that the school and our law enforcement agencies jumped into immediate action.
Law enforcement in Manito, Mason County, and Tazewell County have been involved and have investigated the claim. Law enforcement agencies have informed us that there is no credible evidence to support the accusations. However, we have asked the parents of the accused student to keep said student home today and tomorrow for their safety.
In addition, Tazewell County police department has provided us a large police presence today to offer additional safety and security to our students.
