The football team has won 14 CIF-SS championships, second most in the CIF-SS. Varsity football made a state semifinal appearance in 2012 and varsity boys basketball made one in 1991. The girls basketball team has won 3 CIF championships, most recently in 2015. The varsity boys basketball team won their first CIF championship in 2013. The varsity boys baseball and varsity girls softball teams have each made a CIF finals appearance. The football team is moving to the Gold Coast League during the 2020 season, after competing in the Prep League for the past five decades, since the league will only have eight-man football and the school wanted to compete in eleven-man football for the 2020 season.
