Saint Charles North High School is a public four-year high school located in St. Charles, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is part of Community Unit School District 303 which also includes Saint Charles East High School.
History: Originally, the main campus was built in 1995 by Hestrup & Associates as Wredling Middle School with a capacity of 1300. It was expanded and converted into a high school in 2000 at a cost of $41,500,000.
In the spring of 2001, a serious mold problem was discovered at St. Charles East and was determined to be the source of some student illnesses. As a result, East students received an extra two weeks of spring break while school board officials decided on "the best recourse". For the rest of the 2000-2001 school year, St. Charles East shared a split-schedule with St. Charles North. East students attended class at the North campus during the morning while North students had class during the afternoon. After repairs which totalled nearly $30 million dollars, classes resumed their normal locations and schedules the following school year.

A 880-seat auditorium with a sound area, sound-proof light room, set building room, tool room, two cat-walks, an orchestra pit and a fly-rail. 2 elevators. Band, choir, and orchestra rehearsal rooms.
