Most notably, the 1986 varsity boys basketball team, led by senior Joel DeBortoli, who won the school's only Division III title.

They were one game away from a trip to the state championship, but lost to Vanden High School at the original ARCO Arena in Sacramento.

The last individual championship was won in track and field by Andrew (Kruk) Mero in 2002.

Basketball and volleyball games were played in the Douglas M. DeBortoli Gymnasium, named for the former principal of the school and former SUHSD superintendent who died in 1994.

However, the school announced that football, volleyball and basketball would return starting in the fall of 2018.
