Coming out of the 2025-26 high school basketball season, three programs are tied for the longest state championship streaks as Columbus (Miami, Fla.), Volcano Vista (Albuquerque, N.M.) and Dale (Okla.) each won their fifth consecutive title.

Columbus broke a Florida record with its fifth straight title. Volcano Vista won its sixth overall championship while all of Dale's titles have come during its current streak.

Of 74 teams that entered the postseason with at least two straight state titles, 15 extended their streaks. Sagemont Prep (Weston, Fla.) won its fourth straight title while 11 others completed a state three-peat.

Vashon (St. Louis, Mo.) and Ramapo (Franklin Lakes, N.J.) had a national-best six consecutive state titles coming into this year's postseason while Montpelier (Vt.) and John Marshall (Richmond, Va.) each had five. All four teams were eliminated before their respective state championship games while 12 others with active championship winning streaks reached the final before coming up short.

In a notable championship game matchup in Virginia that pitted programs with active streaks against each other, Miller School of Albemarle (Charlottesville) won its third straight title by defeating Fairfax Christian (Dulles), which was in search of its fourth.

Read on for a complete look at every program with a streak of three or more consecutive state championships.
