  • Football - The school's football team has won 15 TSSAA state championships, equal to their rival Maryville High School (15) for the most in state history. Seven of these came in 2004-2010 in Class 2A and later Class 3A, during which the team recorded 84 wins and only six losses, including a 43-game winning streak that was ranked among the best in the nation.[3] The win-streak ended when Alcoa was defeated by Maryville at the beginning of the 2011 season. Randall Cobb, who was drafted by the Green Bay Packers, is among the football alumni from that championship stretch. The team's latest championship came after a victory over Christ Presbyterian Academy in the Class 3A finals in 2013. One year later, on December 5, 2014, Alcoa lost the 2014 3A finals to Christ Presbyterian Academy, with a score of 0-7.
  • Men's Soccer - The men's soccer team made it to the state tournament in both the 2009 and 2010 seasons under coach Tom Gorman. They were runners-up in the 2009 state championship, the best outcome since the program's start.[4] The team is currently coached by Shane Corley.
