Athletics

Rancho High School offers many different sports, including volleyball, baseball, football, cross-country, swimming, tennis, golf, soccer, wrestling, bowling, cheerleading and dance, and has many traditions that go along with each individual sport.

"The Bone Game"

The oldest tradition in Nevada High School football is the rivalry between Rancho High School Rams and the Las Vegas High School Wildcats. The annual game is played for “Sir Herkimer's Bone” also known as “Sir Herk” When the Wildcats won the first game of the series in 1957, the Herkimer Bone tradition began. The “Bone” is actually a large cow bone proposed by the Rancho Lettermen’s Club as the annual trophy for the Rancho-Las Vegas football game. The father of a Rancho player owned a butcher shop and several members of the lettermen’s club went to the butcher shop got the bone and boiled it in water for a full day. One end of the bone fell off during boiling so they glued it back on and one of the guys painted it gold to hide the crack. Since then, it has been preserved in bronze. The first “Bone” game ended in a 13-13 tie. Each school agreed to keep “The Bone” for one semester; however, some Rancho students stole “The Bone” from Las Vegas during the semester the Wildcats were supposed to keep it. Since then it has been agreed that the “Bone” trophy is kept by the winning school for one year.

New facility

The old campus was torn down in June 2006 after over 50 years of being the main location for the school. In July 2006 construction of a new 75 million dollar (overbudgeted to over 100 million), indoor, mall-style school was completed and the students moved in. It was erected on the site of the old football field. After the campus was completed, construction began on a new artificial turf football field and track. Construction was completed in 2007.

Changes for 2010–2011

Starting this upcoming school year, Rancho High School will change from A traditional 6 day scheduling to a 7 classes a day.
