Two schools, one town team: New Carlisle High School to 1968, New Prairie from 1969

1860s–2026 · the frame; institutional courses in the Schools section

The town's school sport runs under two names: New Carlisle High School, whose yearbooks run 1950 to 1968 in the record the Schools section read, and New Prairie High School, opened 1969 for the consolidated New Prairie United School Corporation, whose teams are the Cougars. The consolidated school's ground — its fields and gymnasium on the Cougar Road campus in La Porte County, minutes west of town — is the corporation's ground; the teams are the town's teams by the frame every sister build in this county uses: the school that serves the town carries the town's sporting record. New Carlisle High School's own tournament record — its sectional rolls in basketball and the other tournament sports — does not stand in the record reached and is a named gap (GAP-NC5-SPO-1), its settlers the IHSAA's all-time sectional-championship rolls read for the school's name and the town press runs of 1911–1968. The Tigers name the town still hears belongs, in the record reached, to Olive Township Elementary — the Schools section's fact, printed here once so the old school's name is not borrowed for it: what New Carlisle High School's teams were called does not appear in the sources read, and the yearbook run of 1950–1968 is the gap's second settler.
