HUHS is primarily known in athletics for its wrestling and football teams. Olympic champion Dennis Hall is the most famous of the wrestlers that have graduated from Hartford. The wrestling program also was represented by brothers Brad Becker, Kyle Becker, and Craig Becker, all of whom have succeeded at the Division III level in college. Steve Best was also a two-time state champion in his weight class and is currently the wrestling co-head coach at Hartford.

The football program is coached by Dan Brunner. Brunner's son, Brian, is currently a reserve quarterback for the Central Michigan Chippewas. Other Hartford graduates who have moved on to Division I colleges include defensive end Adam Hahn (Northwestern) and Jacob Olsen (Central Michigan).

Hartford made headlines across Wisconsin on Friday, October 6, 2006, when a note found in the hallway referencing a bomb threat was found, causing a school-wide evacuation. No bombs or other weapons were found.
