They are a member in good standing of the Oregon School Activities Association and participate in the Southern Cascade League. All teams currently play in Class 3A based on school enrollment.

Track and Field started at the high school with a state meet appearance in 1931 where Ralph Fredricks won the state meet in the pole vault with a vault of 11 feet (3.4 m).[5]

Since 1931 there has been a total of 27 Boys State Champions[5] and 16 girls State Champions[6] The girls at Rogue River as well as most of the schools in the state have only been competing in a State Championship in Track and Field since 1968. The girls have also had 4 State Record holders and were the first girls team to win back to back state championships. Kitsy Hall broke the National High School javelin record in 1977 with a throw of 165 feet (50 m).
