Cahokia High School is a public high school in Cahokia Heights, Illinois, United States that is part of the Cahokia Unit School District 187.

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]

Academics[]

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

Demographics[]

As of 2006, the student body of the school was 85.1% black, 13.8% white, 0.9% Hispanic and 0.2% Asian/Pacific Islander.[4]
