Downey High School Athletics
Downey High School Athletics is a vital and integral part of campus life here at DHS. From the pool to the field, we believe that connecting to the school makes students better academically, at DHS student-athletes are part of something incredibly special. Downey High offers 28 Varsity sports and has over 1250 students competing in those sports currently. We strive to incorporate the principles of Character Counts through the Victory with Honor program and push for the development of lifelong learners throughout the journey of high school sports. Leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship are just a few of the characteristics that our athletes develop as members of the DHS athletic family.

Congratulations Athletes!
Congratulations Athletes!
I want to start, as I have in the past, by congratulating each of you for ALL you have been doing during this challenging time. Unfortunately, athletics were cancelled for many of you this year, I know that with your dedication and commitment to DHS, special things were on the horizon for our athletic programs when this pandemic hit. Our hope is that our Viking athletes have been, and continue to be, safe and healthy as our school year nears its last couple of weeks in session.

Nothing feels “normal” in the traditional sense of the word, but we are inspired and invigorated by the togetherness, tenacity, and inventiveness with which our athletes have responded. Many of the these previously mentioned traits are demonstrated daily by the athletes at DHS during “normal” times but have manifested in so many other ways during these more trying times. Coming together and supporting each other is a staple of the athletic program at Downey High and this has only strengthened our resolve.

Those who were able to compete this year, congratulations on your individual accomplishments as well as your team wins. Thank you for representing DHS in a proud and honorable way.

Due to COVID-19 and social distancing, graduation in 2021 is going to look a lot different than anything we've seen before. However, we are so very excited to acknowledge all the athletic achievements and accomplishments of our graduating senior class.

Although there is a sense of loss with rites of passage that will look different during these trying times. We are so proud of our amazing senior class athletes and want to recognize the culmination of their last four years at Downey High School.
