Sabino High is a public secondary education school located in Tucson, Arizona. Located on the northeast side of the city, it is a part of the Tucson Unified School District and has a rich athletic culture. Its current principal is Russell Doty
The school was established in 1972 in response to the boom of Tucson, Arizona's east side in the 1960s and 1970s. It is named after nearby Sabino Canyon. (Contemporary establishments Santa Rita High School and Sahuaro High School have similar facilities.) Starting with grades 9 and 10, it finally had a full graduating class in 1975. This class chose the school colors purple and gold, and chose Sabercats as the mascot. A committee of freshman at Sahuaro who were going to transfer as sophomores into Sabino came up with the choices put up to a vote of all of the incoming sophomores. The other option was maroon and silver, with the mascot of the Toros. In the early years of the school, a junior high (grades 7 and 8) was located on the same campus.
Although Sabino is only 40 years old, it has a rich sports tradition, mainly in the sport of football. Apart from football Sabino has also won team state championships in volleyball (1989) softball(1991) cheerleading (2004, 2010) golf (1986), baseball (1997), men's (1995, 2005) and women's soccer (1996, 2008), swimming and diving, cross country (2007), and track and field, and individual state titles in wrestling and tennis.
Sabino has garnered a reputation in the local marching band community for fielding highly entertaining productions which showcase intriguing musical repertoire and a high level of energetic musicality in the areas of percussion, winds, and color guard (flag spinning). Through the years, the band has consistently been considered by fans, teachers, and instructors, as one of the premiere bands in Tucson and in Arizona. The band has regularly won state titles and often travels out of Arizona to compete with the top bands from around the country.
