A History of Excellence in Athletics!

Since 1969, when Palm Beach Gardens High School first opened our doors here in northern Palm Beach County, striving for excellence in athletics has been a constant. In 1973, the Gator football team went 10–0 during the regular season, its first and only undefeated season, beating Fort Pierce Central High School Cobras. Due to a tie-breaking rule, the team could not participate in the state football championship, even though they were ranked the No. 1 team in the state. In 2005, the Gators won the Florida class 6A state championship in football. The softball team won states in 1985-1986, 1988-1991, 2005, 2006 and most recently in 2010 and 2011. In 2012 the softball team ranked No. 1 in the ESPN National Softball Fab50 ranking. They have also been states runners-up in 1983, 2001 and 2008. Current Head Softball coach Randy Jackson (pictured)  had his 500th win in 2022. The boys' basketball team won states in 1984. The baseball team has won the district title 19 times, most recently in 2021 and 2022. The baseball team has won the regional championship five times, most recently in 2022 when they finished as state runners-up. The Gator lacrosse team won the 2008 1A Florida State championship, finishing their season 20–0. The girls' varsity golf team won the State title four consecutive years; 1971, 1972, 1973 and 1974, then won it back in 1989. The boys' varsity golf team won district champs in 2020 and in regionals they took 3rd place. During the 2008 season, the girls' varsity golf team became the County's Conference Champion, District Champions, and Regional Champions. They were again district champions in 2021. The girls' volleyball team were states runners-up in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Girls' swimming and diving won districts in 18'-20' and have been states runners-up in 1970, 1971 and 1973. The bowling team was states runners-up in 1985. Currently, the Gators compete in 30 varsity sports with many of our programs coached or assisted by alumni.
