Elementary School Athletics
District 65 and the City of Evanston are excited to partner together to provide access to youth athletics programming. Participating in athletics provides opportunities for students to get physical activity, develop relationships with peers, learn the importance of teamwork, build self-esteem, learn valuable life skills, and more!
Students in grades 4-5 at all District 65 elementary and magnet schools will have the opportunity to participate in the following seasonal sports: flag football and cross country (fall); basketball and cheerleading (winter); and soccer, track, and tennis (spring).
Athletics are more fun when we cheer each other on! View City of Evanston's game schedules

Middle School Athletics
Over the course of the 2025-2026 school year, D65 will take a bold step forward by transitioning all of our middle school interscholastic sports to be aligned and competing within the Illinois Elementary School Association (IESA). This move is about more than competition; it’s about equity, opportunity, and pride. Every student-athlete in our district deserves access to the same standards, visibility, and pathways for growth that peers across the state enjoy.
By aligning with IESA, we will create consistency across schools, elevate the professionalism of our programs, and foster a stronger sense of community pride associated with wearing a D65 jersey. Most importantly, we are building an athletic culture that develops not just stronger competitors, but stronger leaders, teammates, and citizens.
This vision isn’t just about sports: It’s about giving our students the platform to rise, belong, and succeed.
