Reinstall The IKE letters to The Ike Cadets

"After an 11-month 'historical autopsy' where I mapped the 'ghost' of the demolished 1957 Eisenhower campus and discovered our current bus routes drive directly over the site of the original 1957 pool, I’ve rallied 910 verified supporters for a petition to retrieve the iconic metal letters forged by the Class of 1970 from a district storage room and return them to our new walls as a zero-cost restoration project, proving to Superintendent Trevor Greene at our August 13th summit that 'Eisenhower isn't Ike without Ike' and it’s time to finally restore the school’s 70-year-old soul [26, 61, 64, 142, 217, 233, 296, Conversation History]."

Help Bring Back the IKE Letters – Eisenhower High School's Missing Symbol

For anyone who walked the halls of Eisenhower High School as a Cadet before 2013, you know what those big IKE letters meant. They were up there on the gym, watching over us, part of what made our school ours. When the building came down in 2013, The class of 70 made sure those letters were saved. They're still out there, in storage, waiting to come home.

We want to bring them back. Not to some warehouse or storage unit, but back where they belong—on the brown wall overlooking Zaepfel Stadium, visible to everyone who walks that campus. For alumni from 1958 to 2013, this isn't just about nostalgia. It's about having something tangible that says there time there mattered.

If you were part of the Cadet Alumni, or if you believe this piece of school history deserves to be seen again, we need the district and people like you to help make this happen. Does this resonate with you? Were you part of that era, and do you think those letters should come home?
