Athletics
The Athletic Program began in 1915 with only two male sports, Fort Lauderdale High now provides the students with eleven varsity sports for males and ten varsity sports for females. The school also offers four junior varsity sports for males and five junior varsity sports for females to participate in. In 1917, FLHS won their first state championship in Track, which is where the unique mascot was derived. Over the years the program has accumulated fifty-nine state championships, which puts Fort Lauderdale High in the lead over all other Broward County schools. In 2001 the girl's Basketball team won the 4A State Basketball Championship and later in 2004 the Boy's Track team won the 3A State Championship and Class 3A Region 4 Championship.
