Athletics
The West Milford High School Highlanders now compete in the Big North Conference, following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association. In the 2009-10 school year, the school competed in the North Jersey Tri-County Conference, which was established on an interim basis to facilitate the realignment. Prior to the realignment, the school had participated in the Northern Hills Conference, an athletic conference that included private and public high schools located in Essex, Morris, and Passaic Counties. West Milford is classified by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association as a Group III school, and is located in the North 1 Sectional. The school offers 28 varsity sports during the fall, winter, and spring seasons. In 2009, student-athletes from West Milford are now taking part in the "Take Five" program with the West Milford Messenger, a program to enable fans to learn more about the players than just their statistics. For the first time in school history, lacrosse will be offered in the spring, but only on the junior varsity level.
- Fall sports offered are: Soccer (B&G), Cross-Country (B&G), Football, Cheerleading, Tennis (G), Field Hockey, and Gymnastics
- Winter sports offered are: Basketball (B&G), Wrestling, Indoor Track and Field (B&G), Skiing (B&G), Ice Hockey, Dance Team, Cheerleading, Fencing (B&G), and Bowling
- Spring sports offered are: Softball, Baseball, Golf (B&G), Tennis (B), Outdoor Track and Field (B&G), and Lacrosse (JV only)
