Highlands Ranch opened in 1987 as the third high school in the district, after Douglas County High School in Castle Rock and Ponderosa High School in Parker. It was the first high school in Highlands Ranch. The rapid population growth in northern Douglas County has resulted in the opening of three other high schools in the area since Highlands Ranch High School opened.[4]
Highlands Ranch High School participates at the 5A level in the Colorado Continental League conference.[4] HRHS girls' basketball has had a long-standing dominance in Colorado. Under coach Caryn Jarocki, they won seven state championships between 2000 and 2011.[5][6][7]
Highlands Ranch High School performing arts programs have been recognized nationwide, with their choir even performing at Carnegie Hall.[4][8]
