During the 1988–89 school year, Cape Coral High School was recognized with the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive from the department.
In 1996, Cape Coral High School's newspaper The Shell won the NSPA's high school newspaper competition in Orlando, Florida. It went on to rank 8th nationally. In 1997, The Shell repeated its win for the state of Florida. The paper, now known as The Seahawk's Eye, won a first place award from the American Scholastic Press Association (ASPA) during the 2008–2009 school year. It has also won first place from the National Scholastic Press Association during both the 2009 and 2010 school years.
In spring 2006, the school was one of 17 in Florida selected as part of Sports Illustrated's "model SI Schools steroid and drug prevention initiative" for high school athletes.
In April 2007 the school was awarded accreditation by the International Baccalaureate Organization to offer the IB Diploma Programme, making it the second IB school in Lee County and putting the school on track to graduate its first IB class in 2009.
Cape Coral High offers many diverse classes. Some offered classes included Honors, AP, and IB classes. The school also offers foreign language classes including Spanish and French.
In February 2008 the Model United Nations brought home the "Best Large Delegation" award from BosMUN, a conference in Boston, MA hosted by MIT and Boston University. This conference was attended by schools across the world including those from Canada, China, and Guatemala. Student representatives were the recipients of several "Best", "Outstanding", and "Honorable Mention" awards. This feat was repeated in 2010, where delegations came from 5 different continents, including a delegation from Ghana. Cape High students took home 15 individual awards, and the "Best Large Delegation" award once again. In 2011, the Model UN team once again reigned supreme at George Washington University's WAMUNC. Cape Coral High School received "Best Large Delegation," and obtained 17 individual awards at this conference in the nation's capital. The website, bestdelegate.com now recognizes Cape Coral High School as one of the most elite Model UN programs in the world. In 2012, the team returned to BosMUN in full force, sweeping the floor and receiving best delegation by over doubling the second place school's score. 20 of the 24 students from Cape Coral High School received awards, and 7 walked away with best delegate awards.
