The School City of East Chicago is proud to announce that East Chicago Central High School has been recognized as a First Team All-Sportsmanship School by the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) for the 2024–2025 spring sports season.
This prestigious recognition is awarded to schools that demonstrate the highest level of sportsmanship across their athletic programs. EC Central earned a perfect score of 100 points, with no ejections or penalties assessed to players, coaches, administrators, or fans during the spring season. The honor reflects the integrity, discipline, and character consistently displayed by our athletes and coaching staff.
“This is a testament to the great work our athletic coaches and teams are doing,” said Grayling Gordon, Director of Athletics at East Chicago Central High School.
The IHSAA’s seasonal sportsmanship awards celebrate schools that promote positive behavior in athletics. EC Central’s achievement exemplifies what it means to be the #FaceOfSportsmanship in Indiana high school sports.
Congratulations to our Cardinals for leading by example, on and off the field!
