Athletics
Ellet's official school colors are orange and white, although the varsity letter jackets and many of the team uniforms also feature navy blue. Ellet's mascot is the Orangeman. Current varsity sports for boys at the school include football, soccer, cross country, golf, wrestling, basketball, bowling, baseball, tennis, and track. Girls' varsity sports offerings include cross country, volleyball, basketball, bowling, softball, tennis, and track. The first band director was Eldon Motz. Eldon's wife, Betty Motz, designed the schools insignia for the Orangemen which was an Atlas type figure holding an orange on his shoulders as if it was the earth.
In 2012, the football team won its first-ever outright City Series title, and qualified for the Ohio High School Athletic Association state playoffs for the second time in school history. The team has shared five previous City Series titles, the most recent being in 2006, and last appeared in the OHSAA playoffs in 1991.
