Athletics

O’Gorman High School competes in Class AA, the state’s largest division for extracurricular activities based on enrollment. O’Gorman represents the smallest school in this class. In spite of this, since the school’s inception into the South Dakota High School Activities’ Association in 1968, O’Gorman has won more state athletic championships than any other high school in its class. O’Gorman has won 123 state athletic championships as of 2023! This success in extra-curricular activities is due, in part, to the fact that over 90% of the students participate in at least one extra-curricular activity. With 23 different varsity sports being offered at O’Gorman, which is more than any other high school in the state, student-athletes are able to compete in a wide variety of sports.
