On April 20, 1922 a new Manito high school costing $80,000 was erected on Harrison Street. This was called the Manito Community High School (MCHS). In 1950 it was officially named the Forman Community Unit District #124. Also in 1950 voters passed a $75,000 bond issue for the addition of a new gymnasium, home economics room, and cafeteria. It was used as a school for 20 years until the 70’s when our community’s growth and progress outmoded, out dated, and out grew it. A grant in 1996 ($500,000) changed the former high school into an apartment building. Today it is now Meadow Lawn Apartments which houses senior citizens 55 and older.
