Academics & Accomplishments
- In the 2009-2010 school year, twenty-nine students were designated as recipients of the Presidential Award of Academic Excellence[1]
- In the 2008-2009 school year, $1,560,000.00 in Governor Guinn Millennium Scholarships were awarded[2]
- In the 2009-2010 school year, SRHS Air Force ROTC was designated as "Distinguished Unit."[1]
- In the 2010-2011 school year, Shadow Ridge Science Bowl Team placed 7th out of 32 teams at the Nevada Regional Science Bowl Competition and received a prize check of $300.00.[3]
Advanced Placement Classes
- Students have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement courses sponsored by College Board to gain college credit before graduation. Classes offered include: Biology, Chemistry, U.S. Government, World History, U.S. History, Psychology, English Literature, English Language, Studio Art, Calculus, and Spanish Language. However, due to Clark County's budget cuts and financial difficulties,[4] AP classes have been largely limited due to the quota of 25 students needed to pilot each AP class. With the average class size being 30 students,[1] it is nearly unfeasible to garner enough students for an AP class. Participation in the AP program is largely voluntary and so AP class size turnouts tend to be low.
- Through the Jumpstart Dual Credit High School Program, students may also take dual-enrollment courses which grant both graduation credits and CSN credits.[5] For the 2010-2011 school year, Political Science 101 is the only course offered through this program.

- Volleyball - Men's Volleyball has gained nationwide attention and garnered state championships.[8]
- Cross-Country - SRHS has produced an excellent cross-country team.[9]
- Wrestling - SRHS has state qualifiers each year.[10]

- Bowling - In the 2008-2009 school year, SRHS captured the men's Northwest District title in bowling.[2]
