For the past 4 years in the UIL competition, Idalou took home the gold at the district meet scoring 600+ points over all, with the nearest competitor at barely 200 points. For the past few years Idalou has also sent many students to the UIL state meet to compete against schools form all across the state. Idalou also has great fine arts programs. Starting with the VASE art competition, the art department sends multiple people to the state level every year. The band is also a huge part at Idalou high school. They send multiple people to the state UIL solo and ensemble competition in the spring semester. The Idalou agricultural education program is another very successful aspect of Idalou high school. Through the FFA around 200 members compete in Leadership and Career development event contests through the year, sending multiple students to once again the state level. The agriculture program also hosts a large local stock show in the early spring semester producing many successful SAE projects. Although all of these accomplishments would not be possible with out the outstanding academic programs.
