Archbishop Mitty Names CIF Division II State School of the Year
“With the girls leading the way, Mitty also was a finalist in the CIF Div. II state playoffs in boys basketball. The baseball team reached the section finals as well. This is the fourth straight CIF Division II state school of the year honor for the Monarchs, who also won top honors when they were considered Division III for 2002-03, 2000-01 and 1997-98.” (calhisports.com)

Archbishop Mitty Named State School of the Year for Women’s Athletics
“It's the second straight girls honor for the Monarchs. They've also been the state's best overall in girls sports for 2004-05, 2000-01, 1998-99, 1997-98 and 1994-95. Mitty repeated as CIF Div. II state champs with a series of upsets after a rare loss in the Central Coast Section final. The Monarchs also were runner-up in the CIF Div. II state playoffs in volleyball, losing only to Mira Costa of Manhattan Beach. They won the CIF NorCal title in girls tennis (no divisions) and wrapped up the school year with a fourth straight CCS crown in softball. Most of the teams were blessed with top talent not graduating, too. America's best girls sports school isn't going anywhere, anytime soon.” (calhisports.com)
