Henning High School was a public high school located in Henning, Illinois.
History
It is known that Henning residents supported their own school system for many years. The school, established probably in the late 19th century, flourished for about five decades. Subsequently, consolidation negotiations began with the neighboring town of Bismarck, Illinois. This brought about the Bismarck-Henning School District and the Bismarck Henning High School. The last mention of either Bismarck or Henning on the IHSA web site is Henning competing in the Speech Sweepstakes competition in 1946. The earliest mention of the Bismarck-Henning Consolidated High School is 1960 for football.
Henning High School was purchased in 1999 by Full Fill Industries, LLC and is now home to their aerosol manufacturing plant. As of July 1, 2024, Full Fill was acquired by Conagra Brands.

Athletics
Henning High School offered basketball, baseball and track. The English Department at Henning had one great year when the tiny hamlet of Henning competed against much larger areas in Team and Individual Speech Competition. With an enrollment (in 1943 under 100) less than 100 students, football was not offered. Sports for females were not available in those days.
Boys Basketball
The only mention of the Henning High School boys basketball team is of the lone District Championship won by the boys of 1936–37. No other team records or coaches names are listed.
