Batavia High School, or BHS, is a public four-year high school located in Batavia, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago. It was created by the merger of West Batavia High School and East Batavia High School (and their separate school districts) in April 1911 and is part of Batavia Public School District 101; the East Batavia and West Batavia athletic programs merged in 1909. Since 2009, the school has added a new "D Wing" of classrooms, "E Wing" of music rooms, a fieldhouse, new athletic facilities, and an auditorium ("F Wing"), which was completed in 2011.
