In the past the Wolves have been known for excellence in volleyball, and this is clearly shown on the sports plaque in the school's gymnasium. The Men's soccer team was voted as the most fashionable in the entire UOVHSAA due largely to their adoption of 'jorts' and hawaiian shirts as warm-up uniforms.
