Pagosa Springs High School (PSHS) has long been a cornerstone of our community, not only for its academic offerings but also for its robust athletic programs. The school’s commitment to sports has fostered a sense of pride and unity among students, parents, and residents alike.
Comprehensive Athletic Programs
PSHS offers a diverse range of sports throughout the academic year, catering to various interests and talents. The fall season features cross country, football, boys’ golf, boys’ soccer, cheerleading, and girls’ volleyball. Winter sports include boys’ and girls’ basketball, girls’ swimming, and wrestling. In the spring, students can participate in baseball, girls’ soccer, and track & field. This extensive selection ensures that every student has the opportunity to engage in physical activity and team dynamics.
A Legacy of Achievement
The Pirates, as PSHS teams are affectionately known, have a storied history of success. Notably, the boys’ basketball team clinched the Colorado Class B State Championship in 1960 and the Class 3A State Championship in 2013. The girls’ basketball team also brought home the Class 3A State Championship in 2015. These accomplishments underscore the dedication of both the athletes and coaching staff.
Community Engagement and Support
Understanding the importance of community involvement, PSHS has taken steps to make athletic events more accessible. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school eliminated admission fees for all regular-season athletic events. This initiative aims to encourage greater community attendance and support for student-athletes, fostering a stronger bond between the school and the residents of Pagosa Springs.
Looking Ahead
As PSHS continues to build on its athletic legacy, the focus remains on promoting sportsmanship, teamwork, and personal growth. The school’s athletic programs not only aim for competitive success but also strive to instill values that students carry beyond the playing field. With ongoing community support and a commitment to excellence, the future of PSHS athletics looks promising.
