History

In 2013 the district announced that due to budget issues it planned to eliminate athletic programs. This would have eliminated Cahokia High School's programs.[2] In June of that year the district board voted 6-0 to keep athletics and arts programs, but at the same time it voted to close two schools and consolidate other academic programs.[3] Therefore the high school retained its academic programs.[2]

Eighty percent of Cahokia's graduates enroll in college or post-graduate training programs.[4]
