West Perry High School offers various clubs, activities, and an extensive sports program. West Perry's 1989 football team was the last undefeated team in Pennsylvania not to make the state playoffs, a distinction the school may hold forever since the playoff format has been massively expanded. Ten years later the football team, led by future
University of Georgia and
Baltimore Ravens running back
Musa Smith, became the first squad in school history to make the post-season. The team faced the Central York Panthers in the first round of the playoffs, winning by a score of 42–0, making the Panthers the eighth team that season the Mustangs had forced the mercy rule upon. In the second game, the district finals, the Mustangs faced the Manheim Central Barons, winners of the ten previous District 3 AAA championships, and lost 28–21 with the game ending as West Perry reached the opponent's 1-yard line.
