Fifty-two other schools have accomplished the feat over the past 115 years.

Columbus (Miami, Fla.)Perry (Gilbert, Ariz.) and Volcano Vista (Albuquerque, N.M.) closed out the 2024-25 high school basketball season by winning their fourth consecutive state championship, joining 52 other schools in history to win four straight in the highest classification of their respective state.

Whittier was the first to capture four or more consecutive state championships in the highest classification. The Cardinals secured state titles from 1911 through 1917 in California when their was just a single champion crowned in the Golden State.

Schools have yet to win four or more state championships in 22 states while 11 others have seen it accomplished just once. Arizona and Kansas have each produced a quartet of four-peat winners.

Only two teams have won four or more consecutive state championships in the highest classification on two separate occasions as Wyandotte (Kansas City) won four straight titles in Kansas from 1957-61 and 1967-70 and Bishop Hendricken (Warwick) accomplished the feat from 2004-10 and 2020-23 in Rhode Island.
