Onarga is blessed with three churches. Trinity Lutheran Church is located at 611 W. Seminary Ave. and is led by
Pastor Michael Poynter. The Onarga Christian Church is served by Pastor James Small and is located at 309 W.
Seminary Ave. The Onarga United Methodist Church is served by Rev. Jan Miller and is located at 109 E. Seminary
Avenue. Area Catholics attend the Immaculate Conception/Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission Catholic Church in Gilman.
The parish priest is Fr. John Baluff who also serves two other Roman Catholic Congregations.

The Iroquois West Middle School is the only public school building in Onarga still in use for that purpose. The building
is the former Onarga High School building. The Iroquois West School District encompasses the communities of
Danforth, Gilman, Onarga, and Thawville. The building is located at 303 N. Evergreen Ave. and can be reached at
815-268-7822.

The Onarga Academy is a private not-for-profit school that is a residential treatment facility for troubled youth. The
services of the school are limited to 75 male youth ages 8 to 19. The school uses the facilities of the former Grand
Prairie Seminary, who still owns and manages the property.

Options for parochial education exist in nearby towns with schools for elementary age youth in Buckley and
Woodworth. A high school, Christ Lutheran, operates in Buckley and has been operational since 1997.

The
Onarga Public Library is on West Seminary Ave. and offers flexible hours and family oriented services.  Email
for them for more information.
