HARVEY – State Senator Napoleon Harris III secured $19 million in funding for new athletic fields at Thornton Township High School District 205’s three high schools.

“Students in our community deserve the same high-quality sports facilities as any other school in Illinois,” said Harris (D-Harvey). “I will continue to advocate for Thornton Township because it matters – and it’s time we received the attention and resources we’ve long earned.”

Harris attended a ground-breaking ceremony for the 2025 stadium improvement projects earlier in April. Thornton Township High School, Thornridge High School and Thornwood High School in Thornton Township have started construction on the new athletic fields for track, football, soccer and other sporting events. The upgrades include new AstroTurf football fields.

“Senator Napoleon Harris has long been a staunch advocate for Thornton Township students,” said Thornton Township High School District 205 School Board President Nina Graham. “He consistently brings money back from Springfield for big projects that will have a tremendous impact on our community and its students.”
