High School's sports department participates in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association's Kingco Athletic Conference, at the 4A level. Redmond had previously been a member of the Kingco 4A level from 1997 to 2015, was moved to 3A for the 2016-2018 cycle after 22 schools chose to opt up to 4A, and returned to 4A for the 2018-2019 season. Redmond offers 14 varsity sports as well as cheerleading and dance teams. Sports offered: fall: Cross Country (Coed), Football (Boys), Tennis (Boys), Golf (Boys), Soccer (Girls), Swimming (Girls), and Volleyball (Girls) winter: Basketball (Boys, Girls), Wrestling (Coed), Swimming (Boys), and Gymnastics (Girls) spring: Track and Field (Boys, Girls), Soccer (Boys), Baseball (Boys), Golf (Girls), Badminton (Girls), Softball (Girls), and Tennis (Girls) School spirit Redmond High School's mascot is the Mustang, and the school colors are predominantly dark green and gold, though in most ceremonies and events black is also included. A customary tradition against the only real rival of RHS, Eastlake High School, is to completely wear black at the "Black Out" sporting events. Fan participation cheers are also a tradition at the games. A spectator 'wave', dubbed the 'Roller Coaster' and a group jump known as 'Truckin' are favorites. Redmond High School Pep Band is organized yearly to play at home football and basketball games. Three students (one for football and two for basketball) are selected as Pep Band Directors, though only the football director is known as Drum Major. New and popular songs are added by request of the students and staff. The current fight song (2003-) is set to the Blazing Saddles theme, with lyrics written by band director Andy Robertson. The former fight song was set to the University of Wisconsin–Madison's fight song, On, Wisconsin!. The school newspaper, The Blaze, is written by the Newspaper class and distributed in color. In 2014, a group of graduating seniors distributed a parody of The Blaze titled "The Laze" as a senior prank, facetiously emulating the newspaper's style and tendencies. Campus The Redmond High School campus is centered in one large building containing academic classrooms, a student cafeteria, a central courtyard, three gymnasiums, and a performing arts center. The B Wing extension, added in 2012, includes several additional classrooms. Several portable classrooms are also set up in close proximity to the main building. For athletics, Redmond High School maintains Walter L. Seabloom field which accommodates both football and track & field
