Our Mission
The Cambridge-Isanti Bluejackets Football booster club is dedicated to supporting and enhancing the Cambridge-Isanti Bluejackets football program by fostering athletic excellence, character development, and community pride. We are committed to providing resources, volunteer support, and financial assistance to ensure every student-athlete has the opportunity to grow as a competitor, teammate, and leader. Through collaboration with coaches, families, schools, and the greater Cambridge-Isanti community, we strive to build a tradition of integrity, sportsmanship, and Bluejacket pride that extends beyond the field.
History
On October 22, 1910 the first Cambridge-Isanti High School team went into action against Sandstone, winning 17-0. Thus began the long and colorful tradition of Cambridge-Isanti High School football. CIHS has fielded a team every year since 1910 with the exception of 1914 (no schools showed up for their scheduled games), and 1924 (the equipment was lost). Notes about several exceptional Bluejacket squads:
- The 1913 and 1919 teams had shut out seasons on the scoreboard. Opponents scored no points.
