Extracurricular programs include high class concert and marching band, a choir program, a theater arts company, art classes, [[Spanish language|Spanish]] (from 7th grade), and athletics. Whitehouse's marching band is known as "The Best Marching Band in East Texas" because of the extravagant performances they put on during hometown football games and their role in the Tyler Rose Parade, Christmas parade, and other area celebrations.
