Activities & Athletics

Army Youth Programs in Your Neighborhood (AYPYN)is a partnership between the army and school districts for youth attending secondary schools off the installation. AYPYN supported after-school programs are available Monday through Friday at no cost to the student during the school year. AYPYN sponsors high interest clubs enhancing the academic achievement, health, and well-being of students.

The program is supervised by certified district teachers and available to all Mesa Ridge students in grades 9-12. MRHS will offer a variety of academic, social, and athletic clubs dependent upon teacher availability and student interest.  Daily attendance is recorded, but all clubs are voluntary. A student may attend a club from 3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. or from 3:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.  Clubs are open most school days but are subject to cancellation at any time. Student Union is open from 3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. Monday through Thursday and meets in the library. 

The MRHS Main Office closes at 3:45 p.m. and all exterior doors remain locked after school. Please arrange for student pick-up prior to attending a club. A student may use a personal cell phone to arrange for pick-up. Permission slips are valid for and required before students can attend any club. Students may always attend Student Union Club if another club is cancelled.

The Pride of Mesa Ridge is the 2021 Grand Champion of the Colorado State Fair Parade Competition and has earned a spot in finals at State Marching Championships for the last 18 years, placing 7th in the State in 2021! They’ve had consistent #1 ratings at State Music Festivals in both Concert and Jazz Band for the last 25 years and have traveled to Dallas, LA, San Antonio, Reno, and Disneyland!

The Mesa Ridge Band and Color Guard are made up of nearly 100 of our finest students. Over 25% of the school's student body participate in the school's various, outstanding, music programs. Mesa Ridge has placed several musicians at All-State, All-City and several other honor bands across Colorado. Since scholastic achievement is paramount, the members of the band are expected to maintain high grades. As a result, the grade point average for the members of the band is well above the average for the school.

The Choral Music program at Mesa Ridge High School consists of five performance choirs. 

In addition, there are the additional extracurricular groups—Ridgeline (our jazz choir) and our student led R & B Choir.  These groups present several concerts throughout the school year and perform in competitions and events outside of the school.

Mesa Ridge High School has a phenomenal National Honor Society!  Students are active within the school and community. Those that are a part of Mesa's NHS go through a rigorous selection process that evaluates academics, community service, leadership, and character.  Once selected, students participate in volunteer opportunities, school events (talent show, blood drive, 5K race, etc.), and community events.

Work towards becoming a member of this national prestigious group!
