At Casa Grande High School, we take pride in our student athletes’ academic achievement and the competitive success of our programs. Our athletes are students first, athletes second, and Gauchos always! Casa Grande has a rich, proud history of successful athletic players, teams, and programs.
We believe that successful athletic programs provide purpose for many of our students and can be essential to a great high school experience. Sports also play an important role in our school culture and community. At Casa Grande, we offer a wide variety of sports programs for all levels of athletes. Participating in the program offers students a chance to represent their school in competition and in the outside community, to learn sportsmanship, teamwork, and respect. We expect our student athletes to pride themselves on being leaders on and off the field and understand that they represent CGHS. Everyone has a place at the Big House and athletics is no exception!
In carrying out its mission, the Casa Grande High School Athletic Department will strengthen the ability of all students to manage their lives and fulfill their potential as student-athletes and citizens.
We look forward to many more years of Gaucho Greatness!
