School Notes:
  • Rockton is a village in Winnebago County, Illinois, United States. The population was 5,296 at the 2000 census.
  • History: Of course, native American tribes inhabbited the area originally. Stephen Mack, Jr., who married the Indian woman named Hononegah, is considered the founder of the Rockton area. His original outpost (c. 1830s) later became part of an area called Macktown, and later still the area took on the name Rockton. A number of Canadians, some French Canadian, moved to the Rockton area in the 1840/1850s time frame.
  • High school: Hononegah High School is the public high school located in the town of Rockton. Hononegah opened its doors in 1922 and has seen several renovation projects. It serves the towns of Rockton and Roscoe, Illinois, along with parts of South Beloit and the small village of Shirland. The school has been ranked by the Chicago Sun-Times as one of the best high schools in the state of Illinois. The school is currently crowded despite the recent additions over the past decade, including a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center (known to locals as the PAC), and an athletic practice dome, the first of its kind in the state for a high school.The district is known for receiving many academic awards including being listed in the top 40 schools in the state of Illinois, for the 2005-2006 school year.
  • Hononegah football and basketball games are major draws for spectators in the north Winnebago area, often bringing in thousands of spectators to cheer on the Indians, who are named for Hononegah, the wife of Stephen Mack.
