Magnet Programs
Hudson's Bay offers two magnet programs—Careers in Education, and Habitat and Civil Engineering.
Careers in Education
The Careers in Education magnet program prepares students for future careers in the fields of child development, family psychology, teaching, and instructional theory. Students take courses focused on these topics, and apply their learning through direct interaction with infants and children.
Habitat and Civil Engineering
The Habitat and Civil Engineering magnet is a four-year program that offers in-depth education to those students planning careers in urban horticulture, landscaping, ecology, city planning, civil engineering, and architecture. Students apply their learning working in Hudson Bay's horticulture center, nursery, and science park, and through internships and work experience.

Community Service and The Mr. Hudson's Bay Pageant
The Mr. Hudson's Bay pageant is a mock Miss America Pageant designed to raise money for Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Every year, 12 senior boys are nominated and voted on by the senior class and teachers to compete in the pageant. The group works together to coordinate dance, talent, swimwear, casual wear, and formal wear portions of the competition. Contestants spend four months raising money individually and as groups. The contestant that brings in the most money receives the title of Mr. Hudson's Bay.
Mr. Hudson's Bay is part of a larger community service program at the school. Since the early 1990s, Hudson's Bay has consistently been a top donor to Doernbecher Children's Hospital through the Kids Making Miracles Program, having raised over $500,000 to date. The pageant is known for consistently breaking previous year records. The 2006 contestants raised $92,733.17. The 2007 contestants raised a total of $65,748.90, but a surprise donation of $72,965 on behalf of the Eleanor Copps Trust in the amount brought the total to $138,443.90 shattering 2006's record.
