Living near Evergreen Park HS

The area, not just the school

Living around Evergreen Park Community High School means living in one of Chicago's most tightly woven inner-ring suburbs. The village is wrapped by the city of Chicago on three sides and shares its western edge with Oak Lawn, so you get the feel of a real hometown with the whole South Side just a few blocks away. Tree-lined streets of well-kept brick bungalows and Georgians give the area its classic Chicago-neighborhood character, and the village's nickname, the Village of Churches, tells you a lot about the steady, community-first tone of the place. Beverly and Mount Greenwood sit right across the eastern and southern borders, so the area connects naturally to some of the city's most beloved bungalow neighborhoods.

Day-to-day life here is built around convenience. The 95th Street corridor is the area's main street, and it was home to the legendary Evergreen Plaza, the Chicago area's first enclosed shopping mall. The Plaza closed in 2013 after 61 years and reopened as the redeveloped Evergreen Marketplace in 2018, keeping shopping and errands close to home. Little Company of Mary Hospital, a fixture at 95th and California since 1930, anchors the area's healthcare and is one of the village's largest employers.

Commuting is one of the area's quiet advantages. Evergreen Park sits about 17 miles southwest of the Loop, with Pace and CTA bus routes threading the village and nearby Metra Rock Island District stations in the surrounding Beverly and Morgan Park neighborhoods carrying riders downtown. Midway Airport is only about seven miles away, and the I-57 and Dan Ryan corridors put the rest of Chicagoland within easy reach. For buyers who want a settled, affordable, family-friendly community with genuine city access, the area around Evergreen Park Community High School is hard to beat.

The school

About Evergreen Park Community High School

Evergreen Park Community High School opened its doors on September 6, 1955, under its first superintendent, Marshall G. Batho, and graduated its first class soon after. The school was built in three phases that completed in 1955, 1957, and 1963, expanding rapidly to keep pace with a population boom that nearly doubled the village in the mid-1950s. A 1963 wrap-around addition designed by Perkins and Will doubled the building to roughly 193,830 square feet, and an indoor swimming pool was added in 1969. Today the 20-acre suburban campus still carries the motto: Once a Mustang, Always a Mustang.

Evergreen Park Community High School serves about 927 students in grades 9 through 12 as the single public high school for the Village of Evergreen Park, drawing its students from Evergreen Park Elementary School District 124. The school is accredited by the Illinois State Board of Education and runs an average class size near 22 students with a student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 13 to 1. It is profiled in the U.S. News Best High Schools rankings, and its student body reflects the diversity of the surrounding village.

The Mustangs compete in the South Suburban Conference and are a member of the Illinois High School Association, fielding teams in basketball, baseball, softball, football, soccer, cross country, track, swimming, bowling, golf, wrestling, and volleyball. The program's deepest state-tournament history runs through girls bowling and girls water polo, which won pre-IHSA state titles in the early 1980s. On the hardwood, the boys basketball team broke a 50-year drought in February 2024 by winning its first IHSA regional championship since the 1973-74 season, beating Hillcrest 74 to 60 to reach the sectional round.
