Quincy is part of the Patriot League, and previously competed in the Atlantic Coast and Old Colony Leagues. As of 2018, Quincy High School has had consistent success recently in both boys' and girls' volleyball and basketball. The track teams at Quincy High have presented some of the top competing high school athletes in the state in recent years. Its rival is North Quincy High School, which faces Quincy in the annual Thanksgiving football game at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
