In addition, there are sixteen competitive athletic teams, many with three levels of participation. Citrus Hill High School is staffed with full-time Activities and an Athletic Director to provide support for these programs and to provide a stronger school connectedness and participation among the student body.

Activities and organizations

Previously, the Link Crew program served to train and support upperclassmen mentors for the ninth grade classes. Most ninth grade advisory classes would have two Link Crew members for a class of 20-25 students. Link Crew leaders had to qualify for the program by maintaining a grade point average of at least 2.5.

The Associated Student Body is in charge of all social activities for the student body. There are student representatives from all grade levels. In order to qualify for ASB, students must maintain a 2.0 grade point average. The program is open to any student who qualifies. ASB has elected-officer positions for the school as a whole and for each grade level. Students are elected to these positions by their grade-level peers and help to facilitate meetings. Excessive discipline issues or not meeting the required GPA serve as cause for removal from the program. ASB used to publish a Daily Bulletin that is broadcast daily to all 2nd period classes to announce upcoming events and requirements. In the past, there was a school-wide unity day that focused on cultural diversity and teacher-to-student relationship building, and it occurred once a month. On those Fridays, teachers and students would attend performances from various school groups during the advisory period.

The choral program is an elective program. The three levels of choir offered are; Beginning Choir, Jazz Choir, and Chamber Singers. Chamber Singers meets the University of California and California State University's A-G subject requirements. All groups are performing groups; however, Jazz Choir and especially Chamber Singers compete extensively with other high school choral groups.

Citrus Hill's drama department regularly produces two full productions a year. Once a year, there is a musical uniting effort with band and choir. There are additional showcase performances where students are able to do their class projects for a larger community.

The art program features an annual show where students are able to share selected works with the campus community.

The journalism program used to produce a newspaper named the Talon Times or the Soaring Eye. As of 2023, there is a new newspaper called "The Hawks Post."

The CHHS band program consists of various performance ensembles including Marching Band, Concert Band, Winter Drumline, Percussion Ensemble and the yearly musical performance with the Drama and Choir Departments.

Athletics

The school's athletic teams compete in the CIF Southern Section in the Mountain Pass League. Teams are fielded in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, soccer, softball, swimming, track, volleyball, and wrestling. The teams have won several league championship titles and the football team has won five division championships in addition to holding an Inland Empire record for a 38-game win streak (2007–2009).
