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. With a commitment to fostering student-athletes who excel both on and off the field, PSHS continues to build on a tradition of excellence.
Comprehensive Athletic Programs
PSHS offers a diverse range of sports throughout the academic year, providing students with numerous opportunities to engage in athletics:
- Fall Sports: Cross Country, Football, Boys Golf, Boys Soccer, Cheerleading, Girls Volleyball
- Winter Sports: Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Girls Swimming, Wrestling
- Spring Sports: Baseball, Girls Soccer, Track & Field
Each program is led by dedicated coaches who are committed to developing both the skills and character of their athletes. For instance, the football team is under the guidance of Coach Nathan Morales, while the girls’ volleyball team is coached by Katie Lorenzen. These leaders play a pivotal role in shaping the athletic experiences of our students.
Recent Achievements
PSHS athletes have consistently demonstrated exceptional talent and determination. A notable highlight includes the track team’s performance at the John Tate Invitational in Pueblo, where Colton Lucero set a new school record in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.97 seconds, and Abi Nehring established a new record in the discus throw, reaching 138 feet, 6 inches. These accomplishments reflect the hard work and dedication of our student-athletes and coaching staff.
Community Engagement and Support
Understanding the importance of community involvement, PSHS has taken significant steps to make athletic events more accessible. Starting with 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 our teams, fostering a stronger bond between the school and local residents.
Additionally, the Pagosa Springs Recreation Department offers various programs that complement the school’s athletic offerings, providing residents with opportunities to engage in sports and recreational activities year-round.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, PSHS remains committed to nurturing a culture of athletic excellence and community involvement. The school’s athletic programs not only aim to achieve success in competitions but also to instill values of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship in all student-athletes.
