As of 2023–24 Sullivan Heights has 1880 students (in grades 8 through 12), and over 100 staff members.
The school's programs include a strong Performing Arts Program including Dance, Drama, Musical Theatre, Band, and Choir. Other programs include Leadership, Electronics, Drafting, Sewing, Cooking, Tourism, and Information Technology. The school also offers a wide array of extracurricular activities including Student Council, Grad Council, Athletics, Outdoors Club, Programming and Improv /Theatre Sports.
The school has an attached theatre, The Bell Centre For Performing Arts. The centre cost about $8 million to construct and, although its main focus is to be a rental venue for community user groups, it is also used by the school from time to time, with a highlight being an annual matinee for local elementary schools that sees the entire 1000 seat theatre full.
The school features fields for Football, Kabaddi, Cricket, and Soccer.
The school also served as a filming location for the movie Another Cinderella Story (2008) featuring Selena Gomez
