I loved being a part of Idaho Falls High School. I am a 1998 graduate. Idaho Falls used to be the crown jewel high school of the town. Lately though, most people think of I.F.H.S. as an afterthought. It used to be located in a very neighbor friendly and vibrant area for many years. The surrounding neighborhoods of John Adams, the numbered streets and even the not so friendly Bel-Air addition helped keep this school strong and a nice desirable living environment. Unfortunately, over the last 15 or so years the area has gone downhill. The numbered streets are seeing it's fair share of crime and the John Adams area is becoming a slum. There is growing movement to relocate I.F., and I feel that it is absolutely necessary, and I'm sure most other families who have a child who attends would agree. Most students who attend Idaho Falls now live south of town and either drive themselves, (always safe) take the bus or have parents provide their ride. The implication to get the school rebuilt can also be found at Frontier Field. A fairly huge athletic complex is being built for Idaho Falls. It includes all fields for the most popular sports including but not limited to: Football, soccer, baseball and softball. This is also found south of town and not in the middle of the city limits. When it comes to spirit, I feel it's lacking on the interior. The outside is fantastic though other than the letters that are always threatening to fall off on the outside of the gymnasium and knock someone stone cold. Tiger pride is always a strong suit though and the fans are the best in town, in my opinion. My biggest complaint with Idaho Falls was the overall learning experience. I guess that can vary depending on the person. Some teachers care and I'm glad that the teachers who did helped encourage me to get enough credits to graduate on time. Tiger for life! read more

This high school was built in 1952 in school district 91. It is the oldest high school in the Idaho Falls area. The Civic Auditorium is now attached to the high school building is still the center for performing arts and is used for the high school graduation. This is the home of the Tigers!! The yearbook is known as the Spud Annual and the school newspaper as the Tiger Times. In 2012 it became a four year high school with incoming freshmen. The school song was written in 1927 and is as follows Dear old I.F high, we are with you; You're the one we are all fighting for. On the field in victory we'll cheer you: In defeat your name will never mar. We'll be true to the ones who uphold you; And keep your colors on high. When it's time to depart; We'll keep close to our heart; The memories of I.F High, Rah, Rah, Rah Gold and Black are the symbols of might; Never to be downed by a foe. Obtained by the virtues of work and fight; Our aim is to always hold them so. You will find sportsmanship in our athletes; On our men we can always rely. We will build for you a name; And we'll hold on high your fame, To the last of your days, I.F High, Rah, Rah, Rah read more
