History

The establishment that is now Le Sueur-Henderson Secondary School was founded in 1885.[2] However, before its merger, the current establishment was simply named Le Sueur Secondary School. Henderson High School had fully existed as an independent high school until 1986 when it had merged its athletics, Henderson Tigers, with nearby Arlington-Green Isle, Sibley East Bengals. This had marked the beginning of Henderson's loss of independence as in 1990 they had joined to form Le Sueur-Henderson School District[6] and finally, in 1992, Henderson High School closed and consolidated with Le Sueur Secondary School forming the current Le Sueur-Henderson Secondary School.[7]

Both Le Sueur and Henderson have had some pretty big accomplishments in athletics over the years with Le Sueur claiming 4 state titles before the schools merger in 1991 and Henderson with 1. Le Sueur Henderson has won 1 state championship since the merger.
