Highlands Ranch High School is a proud member of the Colorado High School Activities Association. In pursuit of excellence, the CHSAA strives to create a positive and equitable environment in which all qualified student participants are challenged and inspired to meet their highest potential. Participation in educational activities and athletics is a privilege that is earned in the classroom as well as on the playing field, court and stage. The CHSAA encourages all students to engage and explore in sports and activities of their choosing to enhance and enrich their high school experience. Parents are also encouraged to contribute to this experience through their positive support and encouragement. Please remember that with that participation comes the accountability of earning the privilege to take part.
Highlands Ranch has a long tradition of academic rigor and student success, including a well-developed AP program along with a strong National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society and many others. In addition to academic success, Highlands Ranch is proud to have received several awards in DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, theater, music, Student Senate, and athletics. We consider Highlands Ranch a school in which students can reach their full potential through intentional academic studies and participation in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities.
This 2026-2027 school year, Highlands Ranch has introduced several new clubs! Check out our Ski & Snowboard Club or even our Crafting Club!
