Athletics[edit]
Rogue River's high school athletic program began around the time the school did. The mascot is the Chieftain and the team colors are forest green and gold. Athletic teams are referred to as the "Chiefs" (boys) and "Lady Chiefs" (girls). The athletic director is Jennifer Bakker.
The school is a member in good standing of the Oregon School Activities Association, and participates in the Southern Cascade League. All teams currently play in Class 3A based on school enrollment.
Track and field started at the high school with a state meet appearance in 1931,[citation needed] where Ralph Fredricks won the state meet in the pole vault with a vault of 11 feet (3.4 m).[5]
Since 1931 there have been a total of 27 boys' state champions[5] and 16 girls State Champions[6] The girls at Rogue River, as well as most of the schools in the state, have only been competing in the state championship in track and field since 1968.[citation needed] The girls have also had four state record holders,[citation needed] and were the first girls' team to win back-to-back state championships.[citation needed] Kitsy Hall broke the National High School javelin record in 1977 with a throw of 165 feet (50 m).[citation needed]
