Haines has produced state championship drama, debate, and forensics teams over the years, most recent awards include 1st overall in drama for small schools, and coach of the year to Tim Shields. More recently, there have been several regional champion cross-country teams and the basketball team won the Alaska State Tournament in the 3A division during the 2007-08 and 2009-2010 school years, making for a first in the history of the school.
Haines is classified as a 3A school by the Alaska School Activities Association and competes with other 3A schools in Basketball and Volleyball; 1A, 2A, and 3A schools in Cross Country, Wrestling, and Track & Field; and competes with all schools in swimming.
[edit] Current status
Haines High School has recently undergone a major renovation that has combined the town's elementary, middle and high schools.[1]
The school is also sending roughly 75% of all its graduates on to higher education and less than 10% of the student body drops out.[2] Both figures are above statewide averages.
The Boys Basketball Team won 3A State Championship for 2010.
