Edwardsville High School Athletics A Tradition of Excellence Edwardsville High School has a long tradition of athletic excellence. In fact, EHS has appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch top five athletic programs in seven of the last nine years, winning the top prize three times, and is recognized as one of the premier schools in the state of Illinois. This success is the result of hard work and high expectations – part of business as usual for EHS. The school is fortunate to have talented and dedicated athletes and coaches, administrative, parental and community support, summer improvement programs, and camaraderie among coaches. During the 2008-2009 school year, Edwardsville High School brought home trophies in four IHSA sports: Boys Golf - 3rd place, Boys Soccer - 2nd place, Team Wrestling - 4th place, and Girls Softball - 2nd place. In 2009-10, Boys Soccer finished in 4th place, Cheerleading finished in 9th place, and Girls Track finished in 4th place. During the Fall 2010 season, Boys Soccer and Girls Volleyball each took home third place trophies, and in 2011, Boys Volleyball became the first team from downstate to qualify for the IHSA state tournament. During the past decade, Edwardsville High School has earned 18 IHSA trophies in 9 different sports.

I Welcome to Edwardsville High School Home of the EHS Tigers In District 7, our primary concern is improving student achievement and preparing students for life beyond high school. It is our belief that participation in athletics plays an important role in the development of well-rounded young people. We have no doubt that the lessons learned both on and off the field of play will serve our student athletes well in whatever direction they take in life. We encourage and expect our student athletes to reflect the values of the community in which we live. Sportsmanship on and off the field is a core value of the District 7 community. It is critical that our student athletes understand that participating in extracurricular athletics is not just about winning and losing, it is also about learning to compete with integrity and with respect for one’s opponent. We have that same expectation of sportsmanship for our fans. We are fortunate in District 7 to have spirited and loyal fans, and we thank all of them for their continued support. We know that in the heat of action that it’s easy for emotions to run high, but we encourage and expect our fans to demonstrate respect for our opponents, their fans, and the officials. On behalf of District 7 students and staff, we want to thank the Board of Education for its continuing commitment to excellence - and, above all, we want to thank the communities that make up District 7 for their commitment to the Edwardsville Tiger tradition.
