Athletics

SKHS is the home of the Rebels, a Division 1 athletics department (except the hockey team which has recently moved to Division 2 from Division 3 after going 15–0–1 and making it to the state title game). The Rebels are particularly renowned for their formerly nationally ranked boys' soccer team, which made it to the state finals in 2007, the girls' and boys' track and field teams, both of which have been Class B Champions (and in 2009, the girls' track and field team overcame the La Salle Rams and Hope Blue Waves to become the girls' state champions), the boys' volleyball team, which won the state championship in 2009, 2012 and 2016, and the boys' tennis team, which defeated the Bishop Hendricken Hawks to win its fourteenth consecutive state championship in 2012. The tennis team would go on to win championships in 2015 and 2016. SKHS won the Division 1 Championship Cup in 2009 for its demonstrated athletic prowess. SKHS additionally has a wide variety of varsity and intramural sports.

Music and the Arts

The SKHS music department consists of various vocal and instrumental groups. Two well-known groups are eSKape, the music department's jazz vocal ensemble, and the orchestra, which is the last true high school orchestra (having string instruments, wind instruments, brass instruments, and percussion) in Rhode Island. It is one of the most respected and competitive school music programs in the United States.

SKpades

Every year, the current junior class puts on a production called SKpades. SKpades is a variety show that traditionally combines a parody of a popular television show or movie along with skits that poke fun at some teachers, students, and aspects of life at SKHS. Recent themes have included The Godfather, 007, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland, Scooby-Doo, The Lorax, Twilight Zone, the Lion King, Harry Potter, and the Wizard of Oz and television shows (such as Saturday Night Live), ]
