Adolfo Camarillo High School's athletic teams are nicknamed the Scorpions. The school is a charter member of the
Coastal Canyon League (CCL), a conference within the
CIF Southern Section (CIF-SS) that was established in 2014. ACHS competes in the CCL for all sports except football and in the
Marmonte Football Association for football. Prior to 2014, the school was a long-time member of the
Pacific View League. Camarillo's primary rival is
Rio Mesa High School. Camarillo won section titles in baseball in 2002, boys' volleyball in 2003, and boys' wrestling (dual-meet championship) in 2015. The school hosts the Camarillo Classic, a well known early season, two-day invitational track-and-field event, every March. It attracts dozens of teams from all over Southern California. The Distance Classic portion of the event has attracted notable athletes such as
Jordan Hasay,
Duane Solomon and
Christine Babcock to come and produce record-breaking performances at the Camarillo Classic. In 2007, when Hasay ran her meet record 10:04.07 in the
3200 meters, both standing national record holders in the event,
Kim Mortensen and
Jeff Nelson, were in attendance.
Football Adolfo Camarillo High School has earned three CIF-SS football championships. The first was in 1984 when the Scorpions defeated
Ventura High School at the
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. In 1996, ACHS beat
Notre Dame High School of Sherman Oaks 20–16 in a matchup that pitted quarterback and future MLB outfielder
Joe Borchard against future NFL running back
Justin Fargas. Camarillo won its most recent title in 2015, beating
Thousand Oaks High School 55–27 and finishing Southern Section play with a 14–0 record. That same year, the Scorpions won the
CIF Southern California regional title in Division 2-AA and appeared in the state championship game. ==Notable alumni==
