Although we are proud of the championship banners that fill our gym, we value the development of our student-athletes even more. Red Devils leave here with strong skills and values in areas like effective teamwork, listening and communication, disciplined work habits, respect for authority, and emotional control. Students at all levels of sports–from the brand-new freshman trying out cross country to the highly skilled soccer player–are valued and respected by their coaches and expected to develop into contributing members of the program of their choice. We don’t measure the success of our athletic program by our win-loss record; we measure success by the way Red Devil Athletics helps enhance the high school experience and prepares our graduates for success in college and beyond.

University High School is reimagining Lower Campus on Washington Street to better support how students learn, connect, and grow. As the culminating phase of the Campus Master Plan, this transformational project will modernize one of the school’s oldest buildings, creating spaces intentionally designed to support academic excellence, student wellness, and community connection. Central to this vision is SPARC—the Sports Performance and Recovery Center—a dedicated hub for strength training, recovery, injury prevention, and wellness. More than a fitness facility, SPARC reflects UHS’s commitment to the whole student-athlete, fostering strength, well-being, resilience, and confidence that support success in athletics, academics, and life.
Combined with our outstanding coaches, world-class facilities, and commitment to the whole student-athlete, the SPARC further establishes University High School as one of the premier athletic programs in Northern California. It reflects our belief that excellence is built through intentional investment in people, preparation, and performance.” Anthony Thomas, Athletic Director
