Hamilton High School's Badminton Team received high honors during the Chandler USD Governing Board meeting on April 10, 2025, after achieving an impressive feat this season. The team, coached by Lauren Rosales, secured their second state title in three years, showcasing their dominance in the sport with an undefeated record of 14-0 in the regular season and continuing their winning streak through the postseason.

Coach Rosales was also recognized as the 2024 Badminton Coach of the Year, highlighting her exceptional leadership and dedication to the team. Additionally, player Nahira S. earned the title of 2024 Badminton Player of the Year, further underscoring the team's talent and hard work.

The recognition is particularly exciting as all team members are underclassmen, meaning they will return next season to defend their title and continue their winning legacy. This achievement not only celebrates the individual talents of the players and coach but also fosters a sense of pride and community within the school and the district. The board's acknowledgment of the team's success reflects a commitment to supporting and celebrating student achievements in Chandler USD.
