History
Hamilton's campus resides on land originally owned by the Hamilton family. Family patriarch John Augustus Hamilton helped found the city of Chandler serving as sheriff for all of what is now southeast Phoenix Metropolitan Area. According to the Chandler Museum and the Chandler Historical Society, Jerry Loper Field marks the location of the Hamilton family's store. The corner of Arizona Avenue/SR 87 and Ocotillo Boulevard was coined "Hamilton's Corner".[7]
As the Phoenix area became more populated, Chandler High School was unable to handle the increasing educational needs. Voters in 1996 granted Chandler Unified School District (CUSD) a $33 million USD bond to purchase 359,341 ft2 (3,338.3 m2) property and awarded Stantec construction contract for the original Hamilton High School campus.[8] The school becoming operational in 1998 with Fred DePrez as principal and 1,600 freshmen through junior level students.[9][10]

Arizona requires that all high school students take 6 credit bearing courses during their freshmen through junior years, and have the option of reducing credits to 4 credit bearing courses if they are track for graduation. However, CUSD requires all students must complete 22 credits whereas the public university system controlled by the Arizona Board of Regents requires only 16 credits in the following areas:[13]
- English - 4 credits
- Mathematics - 4 credits

Students which choose applied sciences in areas such as Applied Biology or Applied Agricultural Sciences gain equivalent Science credits. Likewise, Economics credits can be awarded like Agricultural Business Management, Business, Business Applications, Marketing, Economics Applications, Family and Consumer Sciences, and vocational courses.[13]
Community college credits can be awarded through a partnership with Chandler-Gilbert Community College (CGCC) and cooperative credits for vocational courses are provided by East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT). Students must be dually enrolled for the Arizona community college or the Arizona public university system to accept the credits towards a degree. CUSD Transportation Department provides routes between Hamilton, EVIT, and CGCC with after school hours transportation intended for students participating in activities.[13]
Separate from EVIT and CGCC, the University of Arizona implemented a pilot program to get university credits for students pursuing introductory engineering courses starting in 2014.[16]

Fan turnout can exceeded 10,000[66] with NFL players like Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald, Matt Leinart, Hamilton alumni Terrell Suggs also in attendance.[67] Since both teams are consistently rated in the top 25 national rankings, the already elevated game in Arizona was brought to national attention by the High School Bowl Series[68] being instrumental in broadcast the game nationally by ESPN, ESPNU,[69][68] and the NFHS Network.
The annual game during the regular season alternates form Chandler's Austin Field to Hamilton's Jerry Looper Stadium. Hamilton began matchup with a 17-game win streak until the 2013 regular season matchup gave Chandler their first win 26–16.[70][71] Chandler would later fall in a 2013 5A Division I State Semifinal matchup to Hamilton 21–17 at Highland High School the neutral field approved by the Arizona Interscholastic Association.[71] Since 2014 Chandler has won 6 consecutive games.

Since the rivalry garners so much attention, administrations of both schools and the district have worked closely with School Resource Officers with all Chandler Unified School District privately contracted security guards ensuring the stadiums and surrounding areas remain secure. The Chandler Police Department has also provided social media monitoring leading up to the game.[71]
Campus
