Dell Belles, an a cappella group formed in 2001, is a solely female group. Both groups are student run organizations.
Hamilton-Wenham also has a very successful theatre program, and is an annual participant in the MSHDG One-Act Festival. Their first appearance at State Finals was under Margaret "Peg" Ferrini in 1965 (the only time Theatre Workshop appeared with Margaret Ferrini as director). Most recently Hamilton Wenham has won at the state final round of the One-Act festival with their original productions, directed by Christopher Shailor and written collectively by the cast. Theatre Workshop won in 2009 with "Wake Up, Jack" and in 2011 with "En Velo." Though they were not state winners in 2013, their performance of "Static" went on to the New England festival. In 2016, Hamilton-Wenham won state finals with their production of "WASP" by Steve Martin and attended the New England Festival.
Hamilton-Wenham has a long history of success in Science Fair. Each year HWRHS sends multiple delegates to the Massachusetts Science and Engineering Fair and is perennially one of the state's top five winning schools. Since 1998 HWRHS has sent seven students to the International Science and Engineering Fair. Internationally, those students have won Honorable Mention in Environmental Science, Third in Microbiology, Second in Computer Science, and First in Biochemistry.
