[7] Hills West has been successful in a variety of sports including Cross Country, Track, Football, Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Swim, Dance, and Volleyball.

In addition, the Colts have fielded strong baseball teams over the years, winning multiple league titles, two county championships, and a state championship in 2003 under the coaching Thomas Migliozzi who recently accomplished his 500th win as the head coach.

The Varsity Soccer team made the state semi-finals in 2007 and won the Long Island Championship in 2017.

In 2014, The Hills West Varsity Softball team won its first ever Suffolk County Championship with a 22–4 record.

In the early 1980s, Taukomas, The Hills School, and Manasquan closed due to declining enrollment.

Manasquan became the district's central office building (later renamed as Fran Greenspan Administration Center) and fed to Burr's Lane Junior High School (also closed, eventually becoming part of the Five Towns College campus in the early 1990s).

It underwent extensive renovations and an expansion, and is located across the street from the Melville branch of Half Hollow Hills Community Library.

The Fran Greenspan Administration Center (formerly known as the Manasquan building) houses the central offices of the Half Hollow Hills School District.

It is located at 525 Half Hollow Road, directly adjacent to the southern end of the High School East campus.
