Plano High School in Plano, Illinois is located approximately 60 miles
southwest of Chicago. The population of our town is approximately 10,9000. Currently, our high school completed a 24
million dollar expansion. In regards to our sports facilities, our football
field is one of the finest in the state for high school football. In
addition, we provide an impressive softball and baseball field with large
press boxes and concession stands. Beginning in February of 2008 we will
have an additional gym to support our fall and winter sports. Plano High
School is host to the best Wrestling Classic and Christmas Classic
Basketball Tournaments. Because of our facilities, we host the
softball and baseball playoffs each year as well as some basketball regional
and sectional play. Our mascot name is
not duplicated by any other school in the state. We are the only
school who carries the name Reapers. Not to be confused with the Grim
Reaper, the Reapers are named for our heritage of the "Birthplace of the
Reaper" harvester. Over the past 6 years, our sports programs
have enjoyed success that only a few schools can match. As listed:

The Reapers, aka Reaper Nation; is a member of
the Interstate Eight Conference. In winning the Class 3A State
Championship in football again in 2007, the Reapers became the only team in
the history of the I-8 to win back to back state titles. The football
program is supported by a great PYTF, (Plano Youth Tackle Football);
program. This League teaches our "young nation" of football players
the fundamentals and toughness of the game. Because of the intense
dedication of our coaches, parents and the rest of the Reaper Nation, our
PYTF Super Lightweight and Lightweight Divisions won the 2007 Tri-County
Youth Tackle League Super Bowl Trophies. Unlike other school
districts, our Athletic Director is also our District AD. His
implementation of programs on the Middle School level to improve the talent
level of our athletes gives our incoming freshman athletes an competitive advantage entering high school. We
are proud of our accomplishments and of our athletes Strength Honor
Heart. There Can Only Be One The Nation Has Spoken
