The school prides itself on its student cheering sections at athletic events, which are often the largest and most effective in the state. The basketball cheering section, known as the 6th Man, has recently been compared by Arizona sportswriters to the famous Cameron Crazies of Duke University. The school newspaper, The Roundup, has won several state awards for its work. Most recently it was named the top high school newspaper in the state of Arizona by the Arizona Newspapers Association in 2011 and 2012.
