The school is not large enough to support all sports on its own, so boys’ hockey is concurrent with Irondale High School and girls’ hockey, co-ed Nordic skiing, wrestling, and co-ed track are joint-teams with Spring Lake Park High School. Men and women soccer is combined with Spring Lake Park High School. In the last eight years St. Anthony men's soccer has reached six section finals.
