Welcome to the home of the Port Washington Pirates High School Football Team! Under the leadership of Head Coach John Bunyan, the Pirates proudly compete in the East Central Football Conference and represent Port Washington in the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) at the Division III level.

Our football program features three levels of competition: Varsity, JV, and JV2 (Freshmen), ensuring opportunities for athletes of all grades to develop their skills and contribute to the team’s success. With strong participation numbers ranging from 80 to 100 players annually, the Pirates enjoy a vibrant and thriving program that fosters camaraderie, discipline, and a love for the game.

The high school team benefits from the Port Washington Buccaneers, our dedicated feeder program at the middle school level, which helps prepare young athletes for the next stage of competition.
