Athletic state championships
In recent years, Uxbridge has become known for their athletics, particularly because of their dominant Football and Field Hockey programs. With a total of 8 state championships, 6 of them have been won since 2021. All 8 of Uxbridge's state championships have been from Field Hockey and Football.
Note: From 1972 to 2012, football state championships were separated by region, so there would be multiple champions from each division. From 1972 to 1977 and from 1997 to 2008, it was split between Eastern Mass and Central/Western Mass and there would be two champions in each division. From 1978 to 1996 and from 2009 to 2012 Central and Western Mass split so there would be three champions in each division. In 2013 everything was combined and therefore only allowed one state champion per division.
