EDWARDSVILLE - During their regular meeting on Feb. 24, 2025, the Edwardsville Community Unit School District #7 Board of Education voted to approve $10,670,000 in bonding for a new media center at Edwardsville High School. This money is what remains of a $100 million bond referendum that passed in April 2023. The $10.6 million bonds were sold to Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, to construct the new media center.
