Athletics
The School offers 20 Athletic Programs along with an intramural hockey team. The Football and Soccer Teams play their games at Tiger Stadium while the hockey team plays at Galactic Icein Altoona.

Football
The Golden Tigers play Friday night games from late August until early November. The program currently is ranked AAA in the PIAA classification and joined the Seven Mountains Conference for the 2008 season. The first season was in 1920 and the team had a 4-2 record under George Carl. The program today has 570 wins more than most schools in Pennsylvania.

Construction began in the spring of 2004 on a new artificial turf to replace the existing grass field. The new field provided the opportunity for other sports and events to use the facility as well. Two renovated concession stands and an information kiosk were also completed.

Record for past 10 years

Basketball
The men’s and women’s basketball team both rank as AAAA in the PIAA. Both also right now have no conference, but continue to play perennial rivals Altoona and State College. Mike Pentoney coaches the men while Joe Hurd coaches the women.

Soccer
The men’s and women’s soccer team rank AAA, the highest ranking for soccer. Both teams compete in District 6, which the women won in 2007. The men are coached by Greg Shale while Dave Soellner finished 2008 as his first for the Lady Tigers.
