- Eisenhower Senior High School (EHS) is one of three public high schools and is located in west Lawton, Oklahoma, the others being Lawton High School and MacArthur High School. Its mascot is the Bald Eagle, and its school colors are Colombia Blue, Red, and White. It was the 2nd built high school in Lawton. Its main rival is Lawton.
- It is situated on a campus comprising of Eisenhower Elementary, Eisenhower Middle Schools, a track/football, tennis fields, large parking and other open areas.
- Eisenhower High School opened in September 1962 housing 700 students in a building containing 48 rooms. In May 1964, an auditorium was completed; and in 1965, the northwest wing was completed, providing the school with an additional 45 rooms and housing a total of 1,900 students.
- In the 2003–2004 school year, EHS had 1,380 students and 112 faculty. Its library contains approximately 16,000 volumes, not including textbooks. EHS is named after Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States and chief military commander during World War II in the European Theater.
- In 2006, construction began on a new wing that housed thirty classrooms, and in 2007, the courtyard was closed and a new cafeteria was built. As of the 2007-2008 school year, Eisenhower (commonly referred to by both its own students and the students of rival schools as IKE) has a student body of approximately 1400 students, a number that has increased greatly from the usual average of 1,100 due to freshmen being incorporated into the student body.
- Eisenhower High School is well-known for their excellence in sports. Most notably, the Eagles were 5A State and National Champions in football in 1990 as well as several other excellent teams over the last 25 years. Many IKE athletes move on to play with many Big 12 Conference College teams, such as the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, Texas, and other smaller colleges in Oklahoma and nationwide.
- Eisenhower is also well-known for academics. Eisenhower has represented the state of Oklahoma for ten years in the Academic Decathlon Nationals competition, having won the state competition for an entire decade. Students at Eisenhower go on to attend many of the most famous universities in the country, while many stay local to attend Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, University of Central Oklahoma, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, Southeastern Oklahoma State University or join the military, or the Lawton Public Schools itself.
- In 2007, Eisenhower Eagles men's basketball team were 6A State Finalist with a record of 24-3 under Head Coach Bruce Harrington and Assistant Coaches Brad Cooksey and Michael Parks. Additionally within 2007, the Eisenhower Eagles Varsity men's bowling team progressed all the way to the state finals, where they won and were crowned the 2007 Oklahoma High School Varsity Boys Bowling Team.
