}}Wyandotte High School is a fully accredited public high school located in Kansas City, Kansas, United States, serving students in grades 9–12. The building itself is a historic and notable public building, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The school principal is Mary Stewart. The mascot is the Bulldog and the school colors are red and white. The athletic programs have won many state championships including an undefeated national championship in boys' basketball in 1923.[6][7][8][9][10]

Notable alumni of the school include actor Edward Asner, actress Dee Wallace, and UCLA basketball star Lucius Allen.

History

On March 28, 1985, the school building was designated as a Kansas City, Kansas Historic Landmark. It was registered in Historic Kansas Places on November 23, 1985, and placed in the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 1986.[6] Stephen King's Sometimes They Come Back was filmed at Wyandotte.[11][12]

Extracurricular activities

The Bulldogs are classified as a 6A school, the largest classification in Kansas according to the Kansas State High School Activities Association. Wyandotte is the only 6A school in the Kansas City Kansas school district, and as such often finds itself in postseason competition with schools from Lawrence, Olathe, Overland Park (Blue Valley School District) and Shawnee Mission. Throughout its history, Wyandotte has won over fifty state championships in various sports. Many graduates have gone on to participate in Division I, Division II, and Division III athletics.

Athletics

Basketball

The Bulldogs are known statewide for winning 20 state titles in basketball including a 1923 undefeated national championship season in which the Bulldogs beat Rockford, Illinois, by a score of 43–21.[6][7][8][9][10] One of the nation's most successful high school basketball coaches, Walter Shublom led Wyandotte High School of Kansas City, Kansas to 10 state championships and three second-place finishes in his 14 seasons there from 1955-1969.[13] Shublom posted a 296–26 record (.919 winning percentage) at Wyandotte, with his 1957 and 1965 teams finishing unbeaten and another five teams finishing with just one loss.[13] He and Wyandotte High School share a spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, where they fall under the heading of high school dynasty. For ten straight seasons, from 1956 to 1965, Shublom's Bulldogs played in the state championship game. In seven of those years they were successful, including five straight years, 1957–1961. Following his tenure at Wyandotte, he became the University of Missouri freshman coach in 1969 and in two years there, guided the Tiger frosh to 21 wins and 2 losses. Shublom went on to coach Kansas City Kansas Community College for 11 seasons before retiring in 1982. In addition to coaching, he played minor league baseball in the Pittsburgh Pirates farm system. In 1982, he was inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame.[13] The basketball team also won a state championship in basketball in 1998.

Football

In November 2006, the football team made a playoff appearance for the first time since 1987, but suffered a loss to St. Thomas Aquinas High School. Wyandotte's football teams have won the state championship six times, occurring in 1921 (9–0), 1923, 1932 (8-0-1 season), 1933 (9-0 co-champions), 1942 (10-0 season), and 1952 (9-0 season).[6]
