Simcoe Composite School has a football team, basketball team, a soccer team, and a hockey team that collectively use the school team name Sabres. The school's swimming team uses the school team name Sabrecuda which is said to be a cross between the conventional sabre and the barracuda.

Annual awards are given out for the best athletes in all the sports in the middle of June; as it represents the last week in the school year.[3]

Simcoe Composite School offers a thriving music program which includes Instrumental Junior, Concert, Senior and Jazz bands. The SCS Teacher Band is composed of both students and staff who practice weekly. Unique to SCS is the Concert Band program in which band participants earn credit toward their OSSD. The SCS music program also offers a credit program in Guitar.

On Thursday nights before Bingo Live on Cable 5, the school had its own local public-access television show for the people in Simcoe to watch.

The show featured highlights on the school, its students, and general popular culture (fashions, new movies, trends). The communications class was responsible for the weekly programming. By using the song Baba O'Riley by The Who during its opening and closing credits, the show emphasized the fact that the show was made for teenagers, by teenagers.

In recent years, the television show was cancelled due to rising broadcast costs and recent government cutbacks.

The high school is located next to the Carillon Tower. This tower is considered to be one of only nine functioning Carillon towers remaining in all of Canada. Erected at the end of World War I, this tower serves a reminder for local residents who have died in combat for Canada and the British Commonwealth. The Carillon bells in Simcoe can be heard within a 1-kilometre range and is considered to be an attraction for residents and tourists who walk in the nearby park.

There are also two parks near the high school. One can be accessed from a bridge and the other one can be accessed by crossing the main street, which outside of Simcoe, becomes Highway 24. These two parks also hold the Rotary Friendship Festival every August.

To the south, there is a post office. To the north, there is a Wendy's and Subway in addition to other fast food restaurants that are no longer served in the cafeteria due to province-wide ban on junk food in public schools. To the east, there is a neighbourhood, where teenagers usually walk to the high school and back. There is a radius of 2 miles or 3.2 kilometres that the teenagers can take advantage of their walking "privileges" before having to take a school bus.
