Andrean High Reopens After Tornado | Chicago News

An EF-2 tornado tore through Andrean High School in Merrillville, leaving devastation across classrooms and buildings—but just two months later, students are set to return on August 13th. Teachers, staff, and even community volunteers have worked tirelessly to rebuild, replacing roofs and restoring safety with help from plumbers, electricians, and construction crews. Principal Jaycob Knazur, also a U.S. history teacher, is thrilled to reconnect with students—even if it’s just an hour a day—and the school is now cleared by inspectors for safe use. While full reconstruction isn’t complete, the campus is ready to welcome students back and begin healing together.
