Notable events
- Sackville High helped host a Ukrainian student survivor of the Chernobyl Disaster; the school was later featured in the book Out of Chernobyl: A Girl Named Olga.
- In 2005, an anchorwoman visited Sackville High School for CTV News to investigate rumours of an "underground fight club" happening on school grounds. The club turned out to be real, but as a number of member students attested, "all in good fun".
- In 2021, Sackville High School constructed a tribute to Indigenous Canadian children killed in the residential school system. Sackville High offers courses in Indigenous Studies, as well as copies of fiction and non-fiction Indigenous books in its school library.
