Eisenhower High School is a public high school located in the Metropolitan Detroit suburb of Shelby Township. It is consistently ranked as the top performing high school in Macomb County.
Opened in 1972, Eisenhower is the only public high school located in Shelby Township. Until the 1990s, the school had a Washington Township mailing address. As the surrounding area began to develop, the city limits changed and the school fell into Shelby Township boundaries. The original design of the school had few windows and no walls in the individual wings, giving the school an open concept. This open concept failed, as multiple classes could be heard at the same time. The building was quickly segmented into its current classroom structure. When the school opened, the surrounding area was rural and there were no paved roads within miles of the school. Today, the surrounding area is suburban (a part of Metro Detroit), and has subdivisions and strip-malls within the school's immediate proximity. Over the years, Eisenhower has received several renovations. In 2002, the restrooms adjacent to the Commons were extensively renovated. In 2004, the current media center and library were constructed. The following year, in 2005, the Performing Arts Center (PAC) was constructed on the eastern-most side of the school.
Eisenhower's Quiz Bowl team has won four state championships (the 1989, 1992, and 2000 Michigan State Championship Quiz Bowl and the 2000 Michigan NAQT State Championship Tournament) and two national championships (the 1990 and 2000 American Scholastics Competition Network Tournament of Champions).
Eisenhower's Varsity Dance Team has earned top honors multiple times in regional competitions, as well as the UDA National Dance Team Championship under coach Rachelle Kiehle. Since 2009, the team has been consistently ranked in the top three dance teams in the nation, placing first in the Jazz category in 2014.
In 2015 the team placed first in Hip Hop and second in Jazz, while Eisenhower's Junior Varsity Dance Team scored their first National championship with their Pom routine and took third place in Jazz.
