Oswego High School teams compete in Section III of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. Athletic facilities at the school include two gymnasiums, a swimming pool, a weight room, two softball fields, a baseball field, a track, and two multipurpose fields used for football, lacrosse, and soccer. Many events are held at Field, which hosts the track as well as a large athletic field.
Aside from the interscholastic sports teams, Oswego High School offers various other opportunities. Each October the school hosts a powderpuff football game in which girls of the junior class face off against senior girls. In addition, the school offers a downhill ski club, co-founded by Eric Tyler, Don Canfield, Chris Moss, and Alan Leighton in 1974, in which members take approximately six after-school ski trips to Labrador Mountain each year in the months of January and February.
Oswego High School offers a music program including two orchestras, three choruses, three concert bands, and two jazz bands, which are offered as classes during the school day and perform an average of three concerts per year, generally in December for Christmas, March for Music In Our Schools Month, and May or June to honor graduating seniors.
Oswego's music program also includes the Marching Buccaneers marching band, which competes in the Small School I Class of the New York State Field Band Conference. Notable recent achievements include the Marching Bucs' first-place ranking at James Madison University's Parade of Champions in 2002, 2005 and 2009.
The chorus program, in conjunction with the drama program, also puts on an annual musical. In 2016, they performed Damn Yankees, and were nominated for twelve out of a possible fifteen awards at the Syracuse High School Theatre Awards. Past productions include Pippin, Oliver!, Crazy for You, My Fair Lady, Beauty and the Beast, Les Misérables, and Grease.
