Galesburg Junior Senior High School (also known as Galesburg High School) is a public high school in Galesburg, Illinois. Galesburg Junior Senior High School was established in 1861 in downtown Galesburg. It has since moved to Fremont Street on the west side of town. The school is located on 80 acres (320,000 m2) of land with a full lighted football field, two baseball fields, two softball fields, a soccer field, a full gymnasium, auditorium, and 2 separate buildings, one with another gym and a swimming pool, and one with 2 basketball courts, a weight room, a track, and a space for baseball, softball and other sports.

A new sports facility was finished in 2014 that has created a more centralized campus and has also made it more sports-friendly for girls involvement in sports. The new multi-purpose facility houses locker rooms, weight rooms, storage as well as more room for physical education classes.[2]
