The annual football game against Midland High is considered one of the biggest high school football games in the state of Michigan, generally drawing over 10,000 spectators. The Chargers have one state championship (1976), and have played for the state championship twice. Midland Community Stadium is located adjacent to Midland High School but is shared by both schools for football, track & field and soccer games. The grass field was replaced with blue AstroTurf XPe in 2004.
In 2009, both the girl's and boy's varsity tennis teams won state championships. It was the first championship by the girls' team, and the first for the boys in 25 years. The girls won division 1, while the boys won division 2. The boys team has gone on to win state championships in 2010 and 2011 also.
In 2011 the varsity competitive cheer team scored 767.0440 points to win its first ever district title in Division 1 in the school's history. This team broke school records for Round 1, Round 2, and tied its record in Round 3.
