Arlington High School was a public high school located in Arlington Heights, Illinois, which operated from 1922 to 1984. It was the flagship school for Township High School District 214 which served students in Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Elk Grove Village, Mount Prospect, Prospect Heights, Rolling Meadows and Wheeling, Illinois. District 214 had budget concerns with declining enrollment. The district board members decided to close two schools. Both of the schools that were eventually closed were in Arlington Heights: Arlington High School (closed 1984) and Forest View High School (closed 1986). The Arlington High School colors were red and white. The mascot was the Arlington Cardinal. The Arlington Homecoming was a significant community event for the Village of Arlington Heights and had elaborate homecoming festivities with red and white mums, a parade through downtown Arlington Heights with class contests for best float, a Friday night football game and a homecoming dance on Saturday night.
