Mission High School's championships include badminton (2004-2017 NCS champions), tennis (2004, 2009, and 2021 NCS champions) and swimming (League champions for over 26 consecutive years).
In 2009, the boys' team won the NorCal Championships. The following fall, the girls' team had an 84-0 league individual record, first place in the MVAL team tournament, first and third place in the MVAL singles tournament, and a doubles sweep in the MVAL doubles tournament.

The school colors are green and white and the mascot is the warrior. Its logo was the Mission Peak (a mountain easily visible from campus) until recently, when a new warrior logo was designed and implemented by student vote. The school's previous logo was a feathered arrow, but this was changed in the late 1990s in response to controversies surrounding the use of Native American mascots and symbols by American schools. Currently, the school designates the "Mission Man" as a mascot.
