Dennis-Yarmouth is affiliated with the MIAA and participates in many varsity sports. The school is part of the Atlantic Coast League. In recent years the Dolphins and Lady Dolphins have enjoyed success on many playing fields. The baseball team has won the ACL South Championship in 4 of the last 6 years, the football team won the league championship for the first time in 47 years, and the girls track and cross country teams have continued their dominance. D-Y has been a part of Division 2 in Massachusetts, but will be stepping down to Division 3 next year.
The football team has created a rivalry with Nauset Regional High School's football team. The two teams play on Thanksgiving Day each year in the Chowder Bowl. The winner keeps the Chowder Bowl trophy for the entire school year. Recently the rivalry has extended to the faculty with the creation of the annual Chowder Cup game. The Chowder Cup is a flag football game played between the teachers of Dennis-Yarmouth and the teachers of Nauset.
Dennis-Yarmouth has a continually victorious track program. In 2006, the girls cross country team won the State Meet at Northfield Mountain, Northfield MA. They have only lost one cross country meet in eight years, and have lost no dual track meets in that time.
Their main rival is Barnstable High School.
In 2011, Dennis-Yarmouth had teams with ACL champions in cross country, football, and volleyball.

On April 9, 2010, the Student council will host their 15th Annual Cape and Islands Leadership Conference (CILC). The theme for 2010's conference is 'Go 4 the G.O.L.D.' This theme is incorporated with the Olympics and bringing the other student councills from all over the Cape to work in workshops. The workshops are to build and engage the students to work with communication in a large group.
In June 2010, while six graduating seniors who were about to enter the U.S. armed forces were being honored at school assembly for the graduating class, two teachers stood up in silent protest, with one holding a sign that read “End War." Boston television station WBZ-TV broadcast a news story about the event[2] and some parents, students, and bloggers called for the teachers to be fired. The teachers were placed on administrative leave. One of the teachers, Marybeth Verani, said of the incident: “I’m showing [the students], in a democracy, how to express dissent.” [3]
