The staff and administration of James B. Conant High School welcome you. Each year presents an opportunity for our Cougar community to provide students extraordinary opportunities, innovative teaching, and exceptional learning experiences.

Conant High School's students, staff and parents are committed to academic excellence and support one another during times of triumph and adversity. We depend on our entire school community to work together to ensure a successful educational experience for our students. 

James B. Conant High School opened in 1964 as a freshman, sophomore, and junior campus for Schaumburg Township, as a part of Township High School District 211. It was the first high school built within Schaumburg Township and the third in District 211. It was named after Dr. James B. Conant, a chemist, educator, and author who was a leading authority on teacher education. He was instrumental in developing the comprehensive high school system that is used today. 

Conant serves students who reside on the east side of Schaumburg, the west side of Elk Grove Village, the northern Cook County section of Roselle, and the Southeast side of Hoffman Estates. 

Township High School District 211 serves the needs of our diverse community by providing relevant and rigorous learning experiences, opportunities for involvement and strong support systems that empower all students to reach their full potential. 

Community - We create a sense of belonging for all by supporting one another, embracing diverse perspectives, and building meaningful connections. 

Ownership - We are accountable for our actions, choices, and learning. We grow from setbacks, and take initiative to make our school a better place. 

Respect - We treat others with dignity and show respect for ourselves, our shared spaces, and our school community through our actions and words. 

Resourcefulness - We use strategies, tools, and persistence to solve problems, seek help, and engage actively in academic challenges. 

James B. Conant High School is accredited by the North Central Association and is a recipient of the United States Department of Education's Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence award.
