Hononegah Community High School opened in 1923. The school is named after the Native American Hononegah, wife of Stephen Mack Jr. Stephen Mack Jr. is credited to the founding of Rockton, Illinois. The school's namesake is honored with a large mural of Hononegah in the school's main lobby.
One of the unique aspects of Hononegah was its inflatable "bubble" field house, the first of its kind for any Illinois public school, until its collapse in December 2015 due to a hailstorm. It was replaced by a field house in March 2019.
