Boys Lacrosse
De Pere Central Ghostbirds lacrosse began in 2014 as De Pere High School Redbirds club lacrosse. In 2019, De Pere and West De Pere High Schools became a co-op program and adopted the name De Pere Central lacrosse. In 2023, the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association adopted lacrosse as a sponsored high school sport.
