Hopewell High School is best known for having the best student section for sports starting in 2007, and has shown fast improvement in its athletic programs. The school's main rival is William Amos Hough High School The school's athletic teams are nicknamed the Titans.

The Hopewell Hooligans were created in the year of 2006–2007 and was headed by the class of 2007. Students dressed up in bizarre outfits, such as long socks, armbands, spray painted shirts, and painted hair. They were known for their creative chants and demoralizing behavior towards its opponents. The school had to adjust new policies after opposing schools complained that the Hooligans were being too "spirited" and personally isolating players. They were noted by the Charlotte Observer as being the best student section in the Charlotte region (2007) and continue to show promise. Ranked second behind them was their cross-town rival North Mecklenburg. Throughout the 2007–08 basketball season, the Hopewell student section was recognized numerous times by the Charlotte Observer as being one of the loudest, and following a playoff game against East Meck, the Observer declared "Every school should have a student section like Hopewell's." They repeated as the best student section in 2009.

Hopewell High School offers over 14 Advanced Placement courses, as well as honors and regular courses in a broad range of academic disciplines. Hopewell is also home to an Academy of Engineering, and an Academy of Hospitality and Tourism, both of which are four year programs run by Hopewell through partnerships with organizations in the applicable field.
