Longmont High School is the original high school of the city of Longmont, Colorado, United States, and opened its doors to students in 1901. The school is located in central Longmont and serves as a high school for the St. Vrain Valley School District.^[3]

Athletics

The Longmont High School football team won the national championship in 1908. It went on to win its next Colorado state football championship in 1940, followed by back-to-back state titles in 1954 and 1955. The school is perhaps best known, however, for its record streak, starting in 1988 and ending in 1992, in which the Trojans went 45–0, winning three consecutive championship crowns. This remains the longest winning streak in large-school Colorado football history. In 2018, the Girls swim team won the 3A championship.^[4]

Robotics

The VEX Robotics team "Pronounce This" (2654P) won its first state championship in the 2021–2022 season and went on to win back-to-back state championships in 2023 and 2024. Team 2654P earned the Excellence Award at the 2024 VEX World Championships.
