Fountain-Fort Carson High School (FFCHS) is a public high school in Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8 that serves the City of Fountain and Fort Carson, Colorado, United States. It has gained national attention for its close ties to the military, as a large percentage of students live on nearby Fort Carson. Approximately 40% of all students have either one or both parents on active duty in the military. The school's mascot is a Trojan warrior.
Fountain-Fort Carson has a proud athletic history. Since the 1920s the Trojans have captured various league, city, and state honors in basketball, volleyball, football, baseball, and track & field.
The greatest of these are the 17 team state titles and 101 individual state titles won in track & field, most won under the guidance of former Head Coach Art Hassler, who retired after the 2006 season.
Mitch Johnson is also one of the region's most experienced football coaches, with 30 years of coaching under his belt, 21 of which have been spent at FFCHS.
Under head coach Matt Buczkowski, the FFCHS baseball team won a League Championship in 2008 in the 4A Colorado Springs Metro League.
With head wrestling coach, Chris James, the FFCHS wrestling team won a League Championship in 2010 in the 5A Colorado Springs Metro League.
Also in the winter sports, under the coaching of Anthony Ribuado, the Fountain-Fort Carson's men's basketball team won the first 5A Conference Championship in school history, just after a year of being moved up from 4A to 5A Colorado Springs Metro League. The Trojans would end their season with a 21-4 record. Under head coach Harry Knight, the 2009 / 2010 women's basketball team made it to the Elite Eight for the first time in school history as a 5A competitor after a convincing win over Thunder Ridge, a known powerhouse in Colorado women's basketball. The Lady Trojans finished the season 21-4.
Under head coach Ben Montoya, the FFCHS boys' track & field team won a 5A State Championship in 2010.
In the fall of 2010, the FFCHS football team moved up a division, making all of the sports at the school 5A.

Coached by Rodney Smith and Herb Maison, the rifle team earned the JROTC State Championship, the Colorado Junior State Championship, the NRA State Championship and the Colorado Junior Olympic State Championship. The air rifle team qualified for the US Army National Championship Match as well as the Civilian Marksmanship Program National Championship, where they finished 13th in the nation.
