Kankakee High School was established in 1906 and served students until 1966. In 1966, KHS split into two schools*, one called Kankakee Eastridge High School (team named the Raiders, colors navy and orange) and the other called Kankakee Westview High School (team named the Kayhawks, colors old gold and Columbia blue). These two schools operated until 1983 when it unified once again (beginning with the academic year 1984) to form the "new" Kankakee High School (team name Kays, colors maroon and Columbia blue). The new KHS location, serving grades 9-12, occupied the former Westview building, with the former Eastridge building becoming Kankakee's junior high school (serving grades 7 and 8).
