Punahou leads list of schools with most all-time high school sports state championships

By Kevin Askeland Sep 4, 2025, 12:00pm

When it comes to winning titles, there is Punahou and then there is everyone else.

On the list of most all-time high school sports state championships, no program is close to catching all-time leader Punahou (Honolulu, Hawaii).

Punahou has 554 state championships, beating out No. 2 on the list La Salle Academy (Providence, R.I.) by nearly 200. The Buff 'n Blue added 10 state titles last year and have averaged eight state championships per year since 1957.

Baylor (Chattanooga, Tenn.) and Barrington (R.I.) with 252 each, Essex (Essex Junction, Vt.) with 249 and 2024-25 MaxPreps Cup champion Cherry Creek (Greenwood Village, Colo.) with 248 are all within four state titles of each other. Meanwhile, Jenks (Okla.), Christian Brothers Academy (Lincroft, N.J.) and Bismarck (N.D.) are all tied with 207 titles.

The final 15 teams on the list are all within 21 state championships of each other.

The totals for each school come from school websites or state association. Non-athletic state championships (such as one-act play and literary) are not included, but unified and adaptive categories are included along with cheerleading, riflery and eSports. Tournament of champions titles are not included.
