Dearborn High School is currently a member of the Western Wayne Athletic Conference. In their history, they have previously been members of, in reverse chronological order, The Mega Conference, The Suburban Eight Conference, and The Sauk Trail League. In school history, the Pioneers and Lady Pioneers have won a combined 11 State Championships in 5 different sports with six of them coming in Boys Swimming. In addition, they have won numerous conference, district, and state regional titles in every sport. The school colors are Orange and Black and the Pioneer mascot is dressed as a mid-19th century frontiersman, wearing a coonskin hat with a brown leather jacket, pants, and boots with leather fringe. At one point, the mascot carried a 19th century hunting rifle but that was ended by the Administration in the late 1990s. The Pioneers' biggest rivals are the Tractors from Dearborn Fordson High School and the Thunderbirds of Dearborn Edsel Ford High School.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:

    “...I didn’t come to this with any particular cachet. I was just a person who grew up in the United States. And when I looked around at the people who were sportscasters, I thought they were just people who grew up in the United States, too. So I thought, Why can’t a woman do it? I just assumed everyone else would think it was a swell idea.”
    —Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 85 (June 17, 1991)

    “In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
    —Walter Wellesley (Red)

    “Falling in love is the right adventure for those who dislike sports and travel.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
