History
Sumner-Fredericksburg High School was established in 2004. It originated from the merger between the Sumner CSD and Fredericksburg CSD.[4] Sumner-Fredericksburg High School is located in Sumner along with Durant Elementary School.
The schools' colors and mascot was chosen from a survey taken from all students in the newly combined district. From this survey, the students chose Cougars to be the mascot and the colors: Navy Blue, Forest Green, and Vegas Gold. In its first year, Sumner-Fredericksburg joined the Upper Iowa Conference. As schools in the Upper Iowa Conference continued to shrink and join together, Sumner-Fredericksburg received an invitation to join the North Iowa Cedar League. In 2014, Sumner-Fredericksburg joined the North Iowa Cedar League East Division, where it joined schools of similar size. In 2022, the school was invited to join the Upper Iowa Conference and the Northeast Iowa Conference. The school has yet to respond to both invitations.
