A Piece of Oregon History Rises Again for America's 250th Anniversary
OREGON, IL — A cherished piece of Oregon High School history is returning to service as the school's original 1936 flagpole is restored and rededicated through a project envisioned and coordinated by Facilities Director Bill Nesemeier.
When Oregon High School was built in 1936, a 42’ tall flagpole was installed directly in front of the building, centered between the front pillars and aligned with the street. For generations, it stood as a symbol of school pride, patriotism, and tradition.
In the summer of 2013, the original flagpole was removed as part of campus improvements. A newer flagpole near the Jefferson Street entrance became the school's primary flag display. The removal was overseen by Nesemeier, who believed the historic flagpole was too important to discard. Instead, it was preserved and stored.
There the flagpole remained for 13 years, out of sight but not forgotten.
When recent upgrades were made to the Oregon High School baseball field, plans called for the installation of a flagpole at the improved facility. Nesemeier saw the project as the perfect opportunity to bring the original flagpole back to life.
After carefully brainstorming and planning the restoration, Nesemeier enlisted the help of Kort & Cade Bertsch, Ted Fritz, Brian Wolber & Craig Cunningham. Together, they all had a part in restoring the nearly 90-year-old flagpole and prepared it for a new chapter of service.
The rededication is planned for around the Independence Day holiday, making the occasion especially meaningful as the nation celebrates its Semiquincentennial—the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
What once stood proudly in front of Oregon High School will once again fly the American flag, serving as a reminder of the generations of students, staff, and community members who have been part of the school's history since 1936.
Thanks to the vision, dedication, and teamwork of those involved, a treasured piece of Oregon High School's past has been preserved for future generations.

The OES and OJSHS offices will be closed this week for summer cleaning. Normal office hours will resume Monday July 6. Thank you for your flexibility.
As we wrap up Week 4 of our summer crew, our buildings are really starting to shine!
Nearly all classrooms have been deep cleaned and had their floors refinished. We've also received and stored 10 pallets of paper, deep cleaned the Jr High gym bleachers, and begun refinishing hallways throughout the district.
I can't thank this crew enough for their hard work, dedication, and attention to detail. There is still plenty to accomplish before students and staff return, but I have no doubt our buildings will be in amazing shape and ready to welcome everyone back on Day 1.
Thank you to our summer crew for all you do!
