Saguaro High School is a former A+ and Blue Ribbon Schools Program certified high school in the Scottsdale Unified School District in Scottsdale, Arizona.[2][3] Saguaro was opened in 1966.

Saguaro's varsity football program has won an Arizona state championship twelve times (1995, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018). The varsity baseball program is three time state champions (1992, 2010 and 2011). The varsity boys' basketball program has won three state championships (1990, 1996, and 2004). The varsity girls' basketball program won one state title, in 2013. The SHS varsity golf programs have combined for four state titles (boys' golf in 1977 and 1990; girls' golf in 1997 and 1998). The girls' swim and dive team won one state title, in 1971. The men’s cross country team finished second at the 2016 AIA Division III State Championships. Saguaro Track and Field has had several athletes win state: in the 4x440yrd relay in 1978, in the 300m hurdles in 1995, in the 3200m run in 2016 and 2017, and the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay in 2018 and 2019 respectively. The men's tennis teams through 2009-2013 reached the state playoffs four years in a row led by the 2013 senior class. The Saguaro senior class of 1996 won the school's first ever football state championship, and also won the basketball state championship. Unfortunately, the baseball team fell just a fraction short of completing the 3 way sweep. They lost in the state championship final, finishing 2nd in the state.
