Students have the opportunity to participate in both individual and team sports.  These include Bantam and Senior football for grades 7 through 12, senior golf, junior and senior volleyball and basketball, cross-country running, boys and girls rugby, badminton, with the school sports season ending with track and field.  New for the 2010 school year is Power Cheerleading where both boys and girls from Grade 9 through 12 are invited to join a new team ready to compete at the provincial level.   Cold Lake High School is also a corporate member of the City of Cold Lake Energy Centre, where students receive special rates to encourage their use of the facilities and improve fitness.

Unique from a traditional student union, Cold Lake High School uses a leadership development model, where students from all grades are encouraged to “take the lead” in organizing student activities and also in becoming citizens, contributing to global causes.  Projects done by students include the building of a school and water well in Kenya in prior years. Most recently, a Haitian reflief benefit concert was organized and held at the CLHS threatre.  An annual "Coffeehouse" raises money for global causes and is a well recongized tradtion in Cold Lake.  Students who participate in this excellent leadership development program received numerous recognitions in the form of awards and scholarships in June of 2010.
