Despite going 20 years without a winning record, the Elmwood Park High School baseball team went 19-6 in 2006, winning the league championship and doubling their wins every year for three seasons. They were semifinalist in the state tournament and county qualifiers.
The 2003 boys basketball team won the North I, Group I state sectional title, their first championship since 1984, with a 70-56 win against Park Ridge High School in the tournament final.[3][4] The boys' basketball team won the North I, Group I state championship in 2007, defeating Leonia High School 78-70 in a game played at Hudson Catholic Regional High School.[5][6]
