Competitions
- The JROTC Raider team of male and female JROTC cadets compete at many state, regional and national Raider events. For the 70th anniversary of D-Day, they were the only group from Georgia to be invited to march in the D-Day Memorial parade in Ste. Mère-Eglise on June 6, 2014. Their trip was impeded by a delayed flight to New York, forcing them to spend the night at John F. Kennedy Airport.[6] The cadets marched in the parade and toured the Normandy area and Paris before returning home on June 11, 2014.[7]
- The Classic City Sound Marching Band, under the direction of Dion Muldrow, has earned several Superior honors at area marching band festivals. Known for their halftime shows highlighting pop, funk, and even Latin fare, the band has performed at the Allstate Sugar Bowl, the National Fourth of July Parade in Washington DC and the Chicago Thanksgiving Day Parade.
- The school's academic team (known as the QuizJags) has won several city, region and state titles since 2004. On April 30, 2014, they defeated Galloway School to become WSB-TV's High Q champion and won $5000 in scholarship money for the players.[8] The team has also attended four National History Bowls in Washington DC as well as seven NAQT High School National Championship Tournaments since 2004. The JV team won their second Georgia Academic Team Association JV State title in 2015.
