=== High schools === The public high school is: *[[Dwight D. Eisenhower High School (Blue Island, Illinois)|Dwight D. Eisenhower High School]] β 12700 S. Sacramento Ave. In 1903, a high school district, separate from District 130 was voted into law by the IL state legislature. For many years (at least until 1938), the superintendent of the high school district was the same for District 130; their school boundaries being virtually identical (the only difference being the inclusion of a cemetery in the high school district!). In August 1927, the Blue Island Community High School District 218 was established.<ref name="ReferenceA">Blue Island: The First 100 Years by John Henry Volp</ref> In 1916, there were 250 pupils at Seymour School who were following the high school curriculum. By 1927, the population had grown to 428 pupils despite the fact that the school was built to accommodate 250 students maximum.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> There are no active private high schools in the Blue Island community, although the Mother of Sorrows High School for Girls operated from 1954 through 1983. It was run by sisters from the order of the Servants of Mary ([[Mantellate Sisters|Mantellates]]). There was an attached grade school that served both boys and girls and had a boarding option for students who lived there full time. Most students were boarders.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.illinoishsglorydays.com/id683.html|title=Blue Island Mother of Sorrows Catholic High School|access-date=October 4, 2015|archive-date=September 9, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150909210933/http://www.illinoishsglorydays.com/id683.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
