Register for 2026-27 School Year

If you have not yet logged into Enroll Jeffco to register your child(ren) for the next school year, we strongly encourage you to do so as soon as possible. It is very important that all families indicate their plans for the upcoming school year—even if you plan to return to your current school.

Accurate enrollment information is essential for our school as we plan for staffing, classroom resources, and programming. The more accurate our numbers are now, the better we can support students and families next school year.

Please visit www.enrolljeffco.org to register your child(ren) and confirm your plans for the 2026–27 school year.  Need help accessing your account? Families who have forgotten their username or password can use the Personal Account Manager to regain access.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this important step and for helping us plan for a successful school year.  

Sponsor Partnerships

Advertise your business with us!  We have digital and static signage options available within a variety of sponsorship packages on our new video board in the gym.  Your business logo will be displayed digitally during our home athletic contests and other events in the gym for the community and guests to see.  Please reach out to Mike Ackerman for more information.  

Traffic Reminders from Arvada Police Department

Please do NOT stop or park in the roundabout on W 80th Ave. until the car line begins to move/flow.  Those waiting on the south side of W 80th Ave. just west of the roundabout need to wait there until they see the line begin to move.  This usually takes a few minutes after the bell rings so please be patient.  Those who attempt to stop or park in the roundabout before the line begins to move will not be allowed to stay there and will be directed to move (by continuing east) or will be ticketed by Arvada PD.  This is essential for efficient traffic flow and will help the pick-up process run smoothly.   It also helps to keep that area clear for emergency vehicles.

National Letter of Intent Ceremony

Congratulations to the 15 Mustang student-athletes who signed this past week, officially committing to continue their athletic and academic careers at the collegiate level! This is a tremendous accomplishment and a testament to their hard work, discipline, and commitment over the years.

We are incredibly proud of the standard they have set and the way they have raised the bar for future Mustangs to aspire to. As they take on the next challenge in their journeys as college student-athletes, we wish them nothing but success in the classroom, in competition, and beyond!

Girls Basketball - The Mustang girls basketball team continues to roll, putting together an impressive stretch of dominant performances. Last weekend, they took control early and never looked back against cross-town rival Arvada West, earning a decisive 62-47 victory from start to finish.

They carried that momentum into the week with two more convincing wins—68-35 over Bear Creek and 59-38 over Lakewood—showcasing their depth, defensive intensity, and unselfish team play. This group continues to set the tone with disciplined execution on both ends of the floor.

The Mustangs will look to keep their momentum going this weekend as they travel to Chatfield, with the opportunity to extend their winning streak to eight games. Best of luck as you continue to raise the bar!

Boys Basketball - The boys basketball team faced its first setback of the season last weekend, dropping a tightly contested, hard-fought game on the road at Arvada West, 45-42. Despite the result, the performance reflected the toughness and resilience that has defined this group all season.

The Mustangs responded exactly the way strong teams do—by bouncing back with purpose. They followed up with decisive wins over Bear Creek (72-45) and Lakewood (85-34), re-establishing their rhythm with relentless defense, efficient offense, and great energy on both ends of the floor.

They’ll look to keep that momentum rolling this Saturday as they travel to Chatfield, entering the final two weeks of the regular season focused, hungry, and continuing to raise the bar.

Wrestling - Last weekend, the Mustang wrestlers took on the best of the 5A Jeffco League at the league championships hosted by Pomona High School, competing with toughness and determination throughout the tournament. The Mustangs were led by strong individual performances, with Wyatt Smith earning a second-place finish, while Jack Klug and Isaak Torres each battled their way to third place in their respective weight classes.

The team now turns its focus to the next phase of the post-season, traveling to Eaton for a tournament this weekend as final preparation before regionals next weekend at Horizon High School. With state tournament berths on the line, the Mustangs will look to continue raising the bar and competing at a high level when it matters most.

Girls Swim and Dive -  The girls swim and dive team is currently competing at the 5A Jeffco League Championships at the Arvada Aquatics Center, stepping into a moment they have been preparing for all season. With a league title to defend, the Mustangs are bringing confidence, focus, and championship-level intensity into every race and dive.

So far, the Mustangs had an outstanding showing in prelims, placing the maximum four athletes into the top 10 in nearly every event, a testament to the program’s depth and consistency across the lineup.

In diving, the Mustangs also competed well, with Kara Sundbye earning a 5th-place finish, Addy Dickerson placing 6th, Hailey Rabbit finishing 10th, and Lucy Bashford rounding out the field in 13th. Overall, it was a strong showing as the team continues to raise the bar in postseason competition.

We wish them the best as they compete in the pool—trust the training, support one another, and continue to raise the bar as they chase another league championship!

Hockey - The RVHS hockey team split a pair of competitive games last weekend, earning an impressive 7–4 victory over Chaparral on Friday before dropping a hard-fought battle to Regis Jesuit, 6–4. Both games showcased the Mustangs’ offensive firepower and willingness to compete against quality opponents as they continue to prepare for post-season play.

This weekend, the Mustangs close out the regular season with two challenging matchups against top-10 teams. On Friday, they travel to Mountain Vista to take on the Eagles, followed by a road trip north on Saturday to face the Poudre School District team. These games will serve as valuable tests as the team sharpens its play heading into the playoffs.

Stay tuned for the release of the hockey playoff brackets to see who the Mustangs will match up against as the post-season begins.

To help keep students as safe as possible, RVHS students are not allowed to walk off campus at any time.  

9th-grade students are not allowed off campus at any point during the school day unless they leave with their parents/guardians. 

If your 10th-grade student is driving, parents/guardians of 10th-grade students can give permission for their child to leave campus with the expectation that they are following the local and state driving laws. Once this form has been submitted by a parent/guardian, the student must visit the front office to obtain an 'off-campus' sticker for their Student ID.  

Please click on this FORM to give your sophomore child the ability to leave campus with your permission.  Students with a valid sticker can begin leaving campus during approved periods on Monday, August 25, 2025.
