Auburn High School's sports venue is called Auburn Memorial Field. New as of August 2006, the centerpiece is a lighted 1000 seat FieldTurf stadium surrounded by a 6 lane track. The stadium is used for AHS Football, AHS Soccer (boys and girls) and AHS Track and Field (boys and girls). In addition, the stadium has two long jump runways and sand pits for Track and Field, as well as a pole vault and high jump area.
There is also a lighted FieldTurf facility dedicated for AHS Field Hockey. New baseball and softball fields have also been built on the grounds, with the softball field being on the site of the old high school.
Auburn High School students recently won a nationwide fund raising effort for children in war-torn Uganda known as the Schools For Schools campaign. In several months, Auburn High School students raised over $17,000. As a result, the organization Invisible Children sent two Auburn students and one teacher to Uganda in July 2007. In total, the amount raised is approximately $40,000.
Recently, Auburn High School has become involved in Rachel's Challenge, a non-profit organization raising awareness for kindness and non-violence. It was established after the Columbine shootings. AHS was visited by Craig Scott on October 28, 2009, brother of Rachel Scott, the first student killed at Columbine.
