The Emmanuel Warriors sport the colors of green and white and are members of the Toledo Area Athletic Conference.[4] They are one of two schools in the league that do not have a football team (the other being Maumee Valley Country Day School). Their sports program includes soccer, cross country, volleyball, golf, basketball, cheerleading, track and field, softball, and baseball.[5]

2005 arson incident

In December 2005, a fire broke out at the school causing administrators to cancel classes.[6] The fire started in a chemical storage area used for science class demonstrations, where approximately 200 mL of mercury was stored. The mercury vaporized, causing contamination throughout the building, in addition to other vandalism, creating hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.[7][8] Two students were subsequently charged in Lucas County Juvenile Court with delinquency in connection with arson.[9]
