    Huntsville High School competes at the 7A classification of the AHSAA and uses the Panther nickname for all team sports. Most depictions of the Huntsville Panther most closely resemble a North American Cougar. Huntsville High sponsors varsity level athletics in the following sports:

    Huntsville High currently supplies one team to the Huntsville Amateur Hockey Association's high school league. The Panthers have won AHSAA state championships in Baseball, Boys' Cross Country, Girls' Cross Country, Girls' Volleyball, Girls' Soccer, Girls' Indoor Track and Field, Girls' Outdoor Track and Field, Boys' Swimming and Diving, Girls' Swimming and Diving, Boys' Tennis, and Girls' Tennis. Also, two Gymnastics state championships were won in the 1980s when the AHSAA sponsored the sport, as well as several Cheerleading State Championships in the late 1990s before the AHSAA sponsored the sport.

    As of November 1, 2012, the Huntsville High Lady Panther volleyball team has won the AHSAA state title 10 times out of 11 years, losing only one year in the semifinals to Pelham High School. The Huntsville High Girls' cross country team placed second in the state meet in 2014.
