The closing of Elmhurst has been a highly debated topic over the past several years, and the Board, by a unanimous vote of 7-0, agreed to accept the administration's recommendation.

The renovations were very costly and took a long time to complete but when they were finally finished, Elmhurst was equipped with an auxiliary gym and 600 seat auditorium.

Elmhurst's athletic department consisted of more than 20 IHSAA[4] sports including the following for both boys and girls: cross-country, soccer, tennis, basketball, marching band, track and field, swim and dive, bowling, and golf.

In 2010 the Elmhurst robotics team won both the state and world championships competing against students from Countries including Canada, Korea, and China.

On August 21, 2009, the football team won their first game since the '04 campaign under head coach Kyle Beauchamp in their final year before shutting their doors- defeating Ft. Wayne Northrop, 21-13.
