History

Construction of Carl Sandburg High School began in May 1953 and by September 1954, classes were in session.[1] Carl Sandburg himself attended the school's dedication in 1954.[2] School legend suggests that Carl Sandburg, the school's namesake, once visited the school but lacked any form of identification. He was told to leave. Later that day, with an ID, he was welcomed in and an assembly was held in his honor.[citation needed]
