Sun Prairie High School (SPHS) is a public high school in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, United States. The school is administered by the Sun Prairie Area School District. In the 2008-2009 school year, there were 146 teachers and 1,802 students at Sun Prairie High School. SPHS is a WIAA Division 1 school. It is a member of the Big Eight athletic conference.[2]

In the summer of 2010 the school moved to a new building in the southeast part of town. The new high school includes a gym that seats 2,100 and has an indoor track.[3] The former school became a combined 8th and 9th grade upper middle school and was named Cardinal Heights Upper Middle School.

Extracurricular activities

Athletics

Swimming

Before the construction of the new high school in 2010, the Sun Prairie Area School District did not have a swimming pool. The girls' swim team practiced in Waterloo, Wisconsin and did not host home meets and the boys participated in a co-operative swim team with Madison La Follete High School (before 2008) and with DeForest High School (2008-2010). With the addition of a pool to the new Sun Prairie High School, SPHS now fields its own boys' and girls' swim teams.[4][5][6]
