Ashwaubenon High School is a high school in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, a suburb of Green Bay. The school has a reputation for high-quality academics and athletics.

Athletics

Ashwaubenon High School extracurriculars are consistently ranked among the best in the area in fields such as football, men's and women's basketball, swimming, softball, dance team and bowling. This is reinforced by the school's 'Jaguar Backer' program, a parent-run fund-raising committee that supplies athletes with top-notch facilities. The Jaguar football team succeeded in winning the WIAA Division-2 state championship in 1996, 2000, 2001, and 2005. The softball team has also experienced state-wide success, winning multiple state championships in the late 80s and early 90s.

New Orleans Saints running back Aaron Stecker played for the Ashwaubenon High School football team in the early 90s. His number, 27, was retired during the halftime of an "Aaron Stecker Night" themed football game, in which the Jaguars lost 42-14 to their rivals, the Bay Port Pirates.
