Lanford High School
Lanford High School is the local high school (grades 9-12) in Lanford, Illinois. Not much of it has been seen, but it is known that Roseanne Conner and Dan Conner attended here in the Early 70s. Their classmates were Anne-Marie Mitchell (formerly Dixon), Sally Glimsher, Roseanne's sister Jackie Harris and possibly Arnie Thomas. They had an Assistant Principal who told Dan would never amount to anything. Years later when Roseanne returned, Dan told her to tell Principal Lee that "Doctor Conner says hello."
In the 80s, the school was operated by Principal Hiller with Miss Carrie as his secretary. Both of Rosanne and Dan's daughters, Becky Conner and Darlene Conner attended here with David Healy, later followed by D.J. Conner. Roseanne was eventually called in to see Lee after Becky made an obscene gesture in a school picture. The incident reunited her with Anne-Marie, but the situation exasperated her as Hiller made her lose a day of work. Later, when it turned out that Becky had been innocent and was using the photo to become popular, Roseanne returned to the school and confronted Hiller out of revenge, getting Becky released from her suspension.
Darlene's daughter, Harris Healy, now attends here.
Besides Lanford HS, the city of Lanford also hosts a magnet high school which selectively admits students countywide based on an exam given in the spring of applicants' 8th grade year. This was administered via Zoom during the 2020-21 school year for the 2021-22 intake.
