Extracurricular Activities
​​​Each school year, hundreds of Evan Hardy students get involved in many extracurricular clubs, activities and sports. Coaches and supervising staff members recognize this participation in a variety of ways. Each team typically gives out individual awards at the end of the season, while at the school level, overall participation is used to determine winners of the "Active Soul" awards, which are presented at the year-end awards ceremony called Colour Day. This is a great achievement and demonstrates a level of commitment and responsibility that may help with future endeavors (e.g., references, resume, post-secondary recommendations). Becoming involved in extracurricular activities is a great way to have fun, show school spirit, meet new people, build skills and make memories that last a lifetime. 

Athletics

Evan Hardy creates opportunities for students to be involved in sport at the frosh, junior and senior levels. Students in grades 9 to 12 can participate in a variety of activities involving local and provincial competition. Athletic opportunities include badminton, basketball, cross country, curling, football, golf, soccer, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.

Thirty-two provincial championship banners, the most in any high school in the province, hang in the main gymnasium. During the last few years, our girls' and boys' soccer teams have won city and provincial championships while our senior basketball and volleyball teams have excelled in league competition, often advancing to represent Saskatoon in provincial championships.

A varied program of intramural programs compliments our intercollegiate offerings. Students have the opportunity at lunch to participate in floor hockey, football, frisbee, soccer and more. In addition, for only $25 students can access one of the best equipped high school fitness centres in Saskatoon.

Band/Choir

Evan Hardy has a thriving music program consisting of several concert bands, jazz bands, a large choir, small ensembles and much more! To help students gain a lifelong love and appreciation for music, students in the Evan Hardy music program become part of a very special community who share a love of music making. Evan Hardy musical ensembles have a longstanding tradition of excellence, having received top awards at the National Music Festival, most recently in Ottawa, Toronto and Calgary, in addition to receiving several awards from the Saskatoon Music Festival. Performing several times a year in festivals in and out of Saskatoon, home school concerts, community events and neighboring elementary schools, there is always great energy in the music community. Evan Hardy proudly showcases all of our most talented artists every June at Showcase.

The walls at Evan Hardy are filled with artwork and students of all abilities are encouraged to be part of this artistic legacy. 

Performing artists may get involved in dramatic and musical productions. In recent years, we have produced The Wizard of Oz and John Lennon and Me (2013-14), Little Shop of Horrors (2014-15), Seussical the Musical and Pride and Prejudice (2015-16), Back to the 80s (2016-17), James and the Giant Peach (2017-18), Willy Wonka (2018-19) and Tarzan (2019-2020). Evan Hardy also holds its own One Act Play festival to produce multiple student-directed one acts. Students work with local artists to develop their plays and the artists adjudicate performances in the spring. In addition to our mainstage productions, students with a wide variety of talents put on a performing arts showcase each spring and two music concerts throughout the year. The arts also play an important role in the school's well-known Remembrance Day observance.  ​
