History

Sibley East has been through multiple consolidations and cooperative programs before its current form. Sibley East first arose, in 1986, as a cooperative program between the Arlington-Green Isle and Henderson school districts in eastern Sibley County. This program would consolidate the Henderson Tigers and Arlington-Green Isle Indians into the joint Sibley East Bengals varsity team. Though this program ended in 1989, shortly before Henderson consolidated with Le Sueur as the Le Sueur-Henderson school district, the title, Sibley East, again appeared in 1991, as the name of the current high school and school district, with the consolidation of Arlington-Green Isle school district with Gaylord school district.[3] With the full consolidation of Gaylord, the varsity team was changed for the last time to the Sibley East Wolverines.[4]

Football

Sibley East has a history for football dating back to its first State Championship in 1972. The school won State Championships in 1974, 1976, and 1980. The team played in the 2012 state playoffs for the first time since the 1980s.[5]
