Football
In the summer of 2007 it was announced that Santa Rita would be hiring a new football coach, Jeff Scurran. After a 0-10 2006–2007 season, the Eagles underwent a radical transformation to an 11-2 team, falling one game short of the championship game. For the next two seasons, the Eagles went to the title game but came up short. The 2008-2009 team had a record of 12-2 and lost to the defending champions from Notre Dame Preparatory High School by a score of 30–26. The 2009-2010 team returned to the state championship with a record of 11–3, but they lost in the coach's final game at the school as Cactus High School would shut them out 14–0.

In 98’-‘99 school year, the Eagles led by Coach Ferguson, defeated Thunderbird High for the 4A Boys state title.
In 2009–2010 school year the Eagles won the state championship for 4A-II boys' basketball.
