AFHS Fight Song.
The Owl fight song goes as follows,
"Let's win this game;
Go onward Owls, go!
Never to yield
A victory to the foe!
On to the goal;
A gain on every play!
Fight Owls! Fight Owls!
Win this game the same old way!"
Athletics.
Agua Fria's athletic excellence is recognized state and nation wide. With the likes of Hall of Fame inductees Randall McDaniel to more recent stars like Everson Griffen.
A football program that has boasted 5 state championships in Class 4A (1991, 1989, 1988, 1972, 1970). Along with countless NCAA Division 1 athletic scholarships.
The track and field program is also worth recognizing. Under the direction of coach Ted Campbell, as well as Brian Bogen, the Owls morphed into perennial winners. Between 1997 and 2007, the boys' track team had a duel meet record of 112 wins and 13 losses, came home with countless invitational trophies, took first place in its region five years in a row (from 2004 to 2008), and won state titles back to back in 2006 and 2007.
The men's basketball team has been prominent in tournaments and championships as well. Most recently, from 2007 to 2009, the varsity team made it to the 4A-I state finals, but fell short of winning the championship to Carrick Felix's Millennium High School (division rivals) and Sunnyslope High School. In 2016, they had again made it to the playoffs, but lost in the semi-final round to the team who ultimately won the state championship.
Agua Fria's men's soccer team has also notched a 4A state championship (1999). Along with producing various playoff runs from 2006-2010.
Agua Fria's cheerleading team has also been a frequent state and national contender in the past few years. During the 2015-2016 school year, head coach Torie Jones secured the team their first state bid in the school's history, and has secured a bid for them every year since. In her third year, she also took the varsity cheer team to finals at USA Nationals for the first time.
Solar panels.
In the late spring of 2011, covered parking with solar panel installations was scheduled to be added to Agua Fria and Millennium high schools; the district had already added solar panels to the roofs at Desert Edge High School and Verrado High School in 2010. It was estimated that some 40 percent of the entire district's energy needs would come from solar panels at its high schools upon completion.
