[edit] Wyoming Park Theater Company
In addition to the diverse amount of courses to choose from, Wyoming Park also offers various extra-curricular programs such as theater, which they teach as a "closed company" (known as the Wyoming Park Theater Company) led by director Jeremy Schnotala. The Wyoming Park Theater Company is often praised for delivering such professional performances in their plays, moreso than other local high school drama clubs in the area. Unlike most other plays in the area, almost all performances done by the WPTC are usually sold out.
In October of 2006, Schnotala announced that instead of the typical one-season theater year that happens every year, they would be dividing up the 2006-2007 year into two seasons - a play at the end of November into December and a musical in May. The play for this year will be A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The musical has not yet been announced.

Wyoming Park competes within the O.K. Blue district teams, which include Sparta High School, Belding High School, Rogers High School, Comstock Park High School, Coopersville High School, and Cedar Springs High School. The school has won numerous amount of championships, ranging from track, football, and basketball championships.
In the 2005-2006 school year, the varsity basketball team shared the O.K. Blue title championship with Cedar Springs High School.
