Durand High School, is located in the town of Durand, Illinois. The campus is located 20 miles northwest of Rockford, 20 miles northeast of Freeport and 20 miles southeast of Monroe, Wisconsin. It is located just one mile north of Illinois Route 75. The Durand Community School District became a consolidated district in 1949 when the State of Illinois mandated that large school districts be created from small or rural unit districts, therefore, the Elton, Laona and Durand communities were consolidated into Durand's High School.[2]
