Arapahoe High School’s Unified Basketball Team has brought home the 2025 State Championship title in the Colorado High School Special Olympics competition!

Unified Sports are more than just athletics. Unified is a club that brings together students with and without special needs, forming a team of athletes and peer partners. Together, they foster friendship, inclusion, and school spirit, all while having a blast playing sports like basketball, kickball, and bowling.

This year, the Unified Basketball team showed outstanding teamwork, skill, and sportsmanship as they powered through the competition. For many students, including one proud freshman, it was a season of unforgettable memories, new friendships, and championship glory.

“My experience as a freshman was great! I gained new friends and a state championship,” one team member shared.

Arapahoe’s win is a shining example of what makes Unified Sports so special–and a testament to the power of inclusion and community in Littleton Public Schools.

Congratulations to all the athletes, peer partners, and coaches who made this victory possible!
