Iowa High School is a junior and senior high school (grades 6–12) in Iowa, Louisiana. It is a part of Calcasieu Parish Public Schools.

History

[edit]

One of the earliest schools in the Iowa area was located on the LeBleu family farm near the Chloe community in the mid-1880s,[3]around the time Seaman A. Knapp, president of the Iowa State College of Agriculture, was working to demonstrate the suitability of the region for rice production.[4]The modern Iowa High School was founded in 1919,[2] and the first modern, brick school building in Iowa was constructed in 1920.[5]To accomplish this, the Calcasieu Parish School Board in December 1919 sold $15,000 in bonds to The Hanchett Bond Company of Chicago.[6]

Athletics

[edit]

The Iowa Yellow Jackets compete in Class 3A of the LHSAA.[7]

In April 1965, the city's Lions Club proposed a resolution to the school board to dedicate the IHS football stadium to Jesse Edwin Cady, a longtime school board member who represented the area and who had died the previous month. The resolution passed unanimously. [8]

Wide receiver Curtis Deville became the first football player in school history to sign with a Power 5 conference athletics program when in 2021 he signed a letter of intent to play football at Purdue University, a member of the Big Ten Conference.[9] Andre Sam, a defensive back who initially played at McNeese State University in nearby Lake Charles, would eventually transfer to Marshall University before finishing his college career at LSU of the Southeastern Conference.[10]
