Infrastructure

The current high school was opened in 2012.[4] In the high school there is a gymnasium and modern weight lifting facility. Outside there is a softball and baseball diamond, along with a new AstroTurf football field. The school boasts a strong agricultural and mechanics education program.

Athletics

Gilbert's mascot is the Tiger.[5] Gilbert High School is a member of the Raccoon River Conference. Teams sponsored by the school in fall include football, cross-country, and volleyball. During winter, the school sponsors basketball, wrestling, and bowling. There are also hockey, tennis and swim teams in Ames that some Gilbert students compete on, but they are not school-affiliated, rather the swim and tennis are Ames High School teams, and the hockey team is not affiliated with any public school. The spring sports lineup consists of golf, track, and soccer. Lastly, the school features baseball and softball in the summer.

Gilbert's biggest rivals are the nearby Boone Toreadors, Roland-Story Norsemen, Nevada Cubs and Ballard Bombers.
