The Gosnell High School mascot and athletic emblem is the Pirate with blue and gold serving as the school colors.[2]

The Gosnell Pirates compete in interscholastic activities within the 4A Classification via the 4A Region 3 Conference, as administered by the Arkansas Activities Association. The Pirates participate in football, bowling (boys/girls), golf (boys/girls), basketball (boys/girls), cheer, competitive cheer, baseball, softball, and track and field (boys/girls).[2]

The 1998 Gosnell Pirates football scored a state record 77 touchdowns in a season, which has since been eclipsed twice.[3]
The Gosnell Public Schools football field and stadium is named the J.W. Rea Football Field Stadium with the city name of Gosnell as noted on a large metal sign near the main stadium entrance. The football field and stadium were constructed in the late 1960s. The stadium and field were named in honor of J.W. Rea, superintendent of the Gosnell Public Schools (1956-1977), at the time of his retirement in 1977. During Mr. Rea's 21-year tenure, the Gosnell Public Schools underwent sudden growth by the reactivated Blytheville Air Force Base in the late 1950s. During the Cold War Era, the Blytheville Air Force Base was a strategic air base in the United States's Strategic Defense programs. As the Cold War Era subsided in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Blytheville Air Force Base was marked for closure that occurred in 1992.
