Athletic teams are known as the "Redskins", with school colors of red and white.

Some have objected to the use of "Redskins" as a name for Wapakoneta High School sports teams, as they consider it a derogatory term.

WHS operates on a nine-mod (period) day[clarification needed] with two semester terms.

Students also have an opportunity to attend Apollo, a modern vocational school, offering a comprehensive curriculum of career programs.
