## History

Sibley East has been through multiple consolidations and cooperative programs before its current form. Sibley East first arose, in 1986, as a cooperative program between the Arlington-Green Isle and Henderson school districts in eastern Sibley County. This program would consolidate the Henderson Tigers and Arlington-Green Isle Indians into the joint Sibley East Bengals varsity team. Though this program ended in 1989, shortly before Henderson consolidated with Le Sueur as the Le Sueur-Henderson school district, the title, Sibley East, again appeared in 1991, as the name of the current high school and school district, with the consolidation of Arlington-Green Isle school district with Gaylord school district. With the full consolidation of Gaylord, the varsity team was changed for the last time to the Sibley East Wolverines.
