[cite web| title =The Top of the Class| work =The complete list of the 1,200 top U.S. schools| publisher = MSNBC| date =2007| url =http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12532678/site/newsweek/| accessdate =2007-05-23] Its academic teams also do well.

Athletics

St. Anthony’s team mascot is the Huskie. The team won the 2006 and 2008 State 2A baseball championships. [Paulsen, Jim. "Class 2A baseball: St. Anthony uses big bats to roll over Annandale." "Minneapolis Star-Tribune", June 14, 2008. http://www.startribune.com/sports/preps/19934399.html] Baseball games are played at Palm field, and football games at Denison Field.

St. Anthony recently rejoined the Tri-Metro Conference after competing for several years in the Metro Alliance, returning after the latter disbanded in 2005. They compete in most sports at the 2A level.

The school is not large enough to support all sports on its own, so boys’ hockey is concurrent with Irondale High School and girls’ hockey, co-ed soccer, co-ed Nordic skiing, wrestling, and co-ed track are joint-teams with Spring Lake Park High School.

St. Anthony has historically had a rivalry with neighboring Columbia Heights High School, [La Vaque, David. "Revived Highway 65." "Minneapolis Star-Tribune", September 28, 2005.] and it has conference rivalries with DeLaSalle High School and Minnehaha Academy.
