Athletic teams compete as the East Golden Bears in the Ohio High School Athletic Association as a member of the Steel Valley Conference.

The middle school closed following the 2006 winter quarter.

When the school was preparing to re-open in 2007, students voted on what to name their athletic teams, and they decided on the Panthers, to the dismay of some alumni who wanted to see the Golden Bears resurrected.

However, in 2017, the name was reverted to Golden Bears, and the school colors were changed from the updated light blue/silver back to navy and gold.
