Argo Community High School is a public four-year high school located in Summit, Illinois. The district draws students from the communities of Summit, Bedford Park, Bridgeview, Justice, Willow Springs, and a portion of Hickory Hills. The school was named for the area surrounding the large corn processing plant located near the school, which manufactured Argo corn starch and is currently owned by Ingredion. In 2014 and 2016, Argo was awarded a Bronze Medal by U.S. News & World Report for outstanding academic performance, the only school in the South Suburban Conference to receive such recognition.
On March 11, 2016, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders held a campaign rally at Argo, which was attended by thousands of people.
The school competes as a member of the South Suburban Conference. It also competes in state championship series sponsored by the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). Argo sponsors interscholastic teams for men and women in basketball, bowling, cross country, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball, water polo and wrestling. There are men's teams in baseball and football. Women may compete in badminton and softball.
