PHS features a variety of athletic programs; many of which often do well at the district and occasionally state level. Those are boys' football, weightlifting, and golf and girls' volleyball, basketball, soccer, softball, cross country, track and field, swimming and diving, and tennis.
PHS also currently features two three strong academic extracurricular activities which have enjoyed great success on in the county/northwest [[Wikipedia:Florida|Florida]]/state level:
*Scholars/[[Wikipedia:Quiz Bowl|Quiz Bowl]] (Academic Team) which recently had a senior make it onto Team Florida which placed 2nd by one point in the [[Wikipedia:Panasonic Academic Challenge|Panasonic Academic Challenge]]. In 2007, it swept all six spots in the Escambia County All Star Academic Team making it the first time any one school took all the spots.

*[[Wikipedia:Mu Alpha Theta|Mu Alpha Theta]] (Math Team) which attends three regional competitions and the Milton math competition. The Pensacola High School math team consistently has individuals placing in the top ten and teams placing in the top five. It usually also places in the sweepstakes division. In the Milton math competition, Pensacola High School has exerted its dominance over the more local area schools for many years.
* Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) was established on 28 October 1966 as one of the original 20 AFJROTC programs in the U.S., and is currently the only AFJROTC Program in Escambia County. The AFJROTC FL-12 Color Guard was recently recognized as the 4th best in the Nation after competing at the 2024 USAF Open Drill Nationals Competition in Dayton, OH on 16 March 2024.
There are also band and cheerleading programs as well as an active [[Wikipedia:Student Government Association|Student Government Association]]. Although the school's newspaper, ''The Prowler'', has not been active for several years, it will be up and running as of the 2008-2009 school year.
