The high school, through the "Kugluktuk High School Athletics Association" also known as the "Kugluktuk Grizzlies", has created a non-profit, stay-in-school organization that uses sport and recreation opportunities as incentives for staying in school, and making healthy lifestyle choices. Currently, the membership has over 100 students. Through a variety of fundraisers, they provide the youth in both schools with opportunities largely centred around sport and travel.
Next door to KHS is Jimmy Hikok Ilihakvik serving students in K - Grade 5.
The school and the lacrosse team were featured in The Grizzlies, a drama about suicide in the community.
