The 2007-2008 school year at Lincoln-Way East had over 4100 students enrolled, which has caused massive overcrowding issues in classrooms and hallways.
On March 21st, 2006, voters approved - by 20% - a proposal to build 2 new schools in the next three years. Lincoln-Way North opened to Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors in 2008.

Their mascot is the Lincoln-Way West Warriors, with their new colors being orange and black.
All four Lincoln-Way schools are intended to have equal facilities. The two new high schools are built to the same specifications as the two current high schools which boast very similar high-quality facilities. These include a large swimming pool, auditorium, field house, turf football field, lighted baseball and softball fields, and many other amenities. Both schools have 103 classrooms. The creation of four separate schools, as opposed to the current two-school system, is expected to provide greater academic and extracurricular opportunities to the students. Each school will see an enrollment of near 2,000. The Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra's home is the newly constructed Lincoln-Way North Auditorium. This was built with the orchestra in mind and is fully soundproof with many other great features.
