Lake County Public Library has a huge collection of yearbooks from all of the high schools in our district - some dating back to 1908! We're finally putting our historic yearbooks online for anyone to flip through.
This is a great resource for genealogists, local historians, and anyone who's just feeling a little nostalgic. Each book is fully searchable. You can even download the books as PDFs and print any pages you want. Go ahead and take a look - you never know what you might find.
We have uploaded all of the yearbooks we have for these schools, though some may have been missing from our collection. Some years/schools have been uploaded by other libraries and have been linked where possible.
Entries with an * are missing several years.

Our yearbook collection, while extensive, isn't complete. While we may have digital copies of some of the following, we would love to add the hard copy to our physical collection.
