Damonte Ranch High School is the newest public high school in the Washoe County School District, located in southeast Reno. DRHS opened in the Fall of 2003 as a combined middle school and high school, to help alleviate the overcrowding at Pine Middle School until another middle school is built, expecting to be finished in 2010.

Damonte has a current enrollment of more than 1,800[2]. Its colors are Navy Blue and Forest Green, and the school's mascot is the Mustang.

[edit] Athletics

Damonte Ranch competes in the Sierra League of the Northern Nevada 4A Region (large school). Damonte won its first state title in any sport when the volleyball team defeated Las Vegas' Silverado High School in five games in 2006. The Wrestling team were the 2007-2008 Northern Regional Champions. Damonte Ranch High School's boys Track & Field team is the 2008 Nevada State Champions. The Baseball team had a 13 game winning streak in the beginning of the season, and in 2008 have had their first 20 win season in the history of that program.^[1]
