History

Dwight D. Eisenhower High School was founded as Blue Island Community High School in 1897 and as such was the first constituent educational institution that today comprises Community High School District 218, which was established in 1927. Blue Island Community High School was accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools (now North Central Association - Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement) in 1899. As president of Columbia University, Eisenhower was the keynote speaker at the dedication of the current facility on Sacramento Ave. in 1951, and the building was renamed in his honor in 1962. [6]

Athletics

Eisenhower competes in the South Suburban Conference (SSC) and is a member of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA), the association which governs most sports and competitive activities in the state. Teams are stylized as the Cardinals.

The school sponsors interscholastic teams for young men and women in basketball, bowling, cross country, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, and volleyball.[7] Young men may compete in baseball, football, wrestling while young women may compete in softball. [7] There is also a coed golf team. [7] The school's athletic department supports the district teams which compete in the Special Olympics.[8]

The following teams have finished in the top four of their respective IHSA sponsored state championship tournaments or meets:[9]

  • Tennis (boys): 3rd place (1952–53); State Champions (1949–50)
  • Track & Field (boys): 4th place (1955–56, 85–86); 3rd place (1944–45); 2nd place (1980–81); State Champions (1954–55)
