[edit] Athletics
Enumclaw High School sports teams compete in the SPSL 3A division, under the auspices of the WIAA. The school's mascot is the Hornet; its colors are maroon and gold; its rival school is White River High School (which was, at one time, part of the same school, but later split, both keeping the mascot and colors). This rivalry is known as the 'battle of the bridge' rivalry (as they are very literally right across the river from WRHS). 2008 and 2009 STATE WRESTLING CHAMPIONS 3A. The 2010 Boys Basketball team went on a 27-0 run before losing in the championship game to Union High School (Camas, Washington) by one point in the last 10 seconds of the game because of a controversial foul called sending a Union guard to the line.[3]
[edit] Theatre
Enumclaw High School's theatre department operates at a high standard. The 5th Avenue theatre in downtown Seattle holds a 'High School Theatre' Awards show every year, much like the Tony Awards for Broadway. They award things such as 'Best Overall Musical Production,' and 'Best Performance By A Chorus' all the way through 'Best Costumes' and 'Best Program Design' to high school shows all over the western Washington area. In the 2006-2007 school year, Enumclaw High School's Theatre Department received three nominations from the 5th Avenue for their production of 'Chicago.' Those nominations were in the categories of 'Outstanding Orchestra,' 'Best Performance by a Small Ensemble—Cell Block Girls,' and 'Best Choreography.' A cast member commented, "The experience was one I will remember for the rest of my life."
