}}Cactus High School is public secondary school located in Glendale, Arizona, United States, part of the Peoria Unified School District. The school opened its doors in August 1977. It is the district's smallest high school, with approximately 1,300 students.[2]

In 1978, the first Cactus High School students, 1980 graduates, transferred from Peoria High School's campus during their sophomore year into the current building.

Fight song

The song is set to the tune of Northwestern University's fight song.

Go Cactus High School, on to Victory.

Hail the Blue and Silver, we'll defend our dignity

Fight mighty Cobras, keep our spirits high

Show all the rest, that we are the best

We'll fight forever, Cactus High

CHS! CHS! CHS! CHS!

The high school's first band director, Jim Lynch, wrote the lyrics in 1978.
