School colors are royal blue and gold. Sports offered include softball (women), baseball (men), cross country (men and women), basketball (men and women), volleyball (women) and soccer (men and women).[2]
The 2022 boys' basketball team won the Group I state championship, the first in program history, with a 91-67 win against Burlington City High School.[8] In 2020, the team was declared as North I Regional Champion, after the remainder of the playoffs were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]
