The current student population is 1,323. Some features are its state-of-the-art technology, its pool, and the Carl W. Morris Athletic Field for their sports such as football, soccer, track and field and lacrosse. The Charley Lau Memorial Field and Tennis Courts are located in the back of the school, hosting such sports as baseball, softball, marching band, and color guard practice. The Eagles are members of the Western Wayne Athletic Conference.
