Art, music and physical education programs are also offered, although budget shortfalls have resulted in substantial cuts to some areas of learning. In addition, many electives have also been cut, beginning with Industrial Arts classes and slowly moving into the main academic areas. This has led to a limited number of course choices for students.

North Andover competed in the Cape Ann League from 1971 up until 2012, when it moved into the Merrimack Valley Conference, which houses some of the state's athletic powerhouses (Central Catholic, Chelmsford, Andover, Lawrence, etc.). Because of total enrollment, North Andover High School is qualified in Division 2 by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association and plays many games against non-league opponents with similar school size.
