In the NCAA, the Greenies have won 12 Juniors General Championships, eight with DLSU and four with DLS-CSB. La Salle Green Hills due to its ties with the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde in the NCAA, uses the cheers of Benilde in the NCAA, but since LSGH being a La Salle school altogether, uses the cheers of De La Salle University outside the NCAA.


Debate

In the 1980s, the LSGH-HS dissolved its Debate and Argumentation elective. Hence, there came increasing demand for students interested in the field. Therefore, the school established the ''Debate Club'' and the ''Forensics Guild''. The two organizations were independent from each other and used different rooms for training. The ''Forensics Guild'' used the then Saint Joseph's Auditorium while the ''Debate Club'' used the High School's Maria Pilapil Hall. Both competed in various competitions in Metro Manila, sometimes meeting each other. Most prominent during this period was the Volvo Voice of Democracy. (This was the stage where LSGH alumnus, Hilarion "Ronnie" Henares III, won the prestigious competition in 1967 and where another alumnus, Christian Earl Castañeda, was second runner-up in 2009) However, since SY 2008–2009, LSGH's Student Affairs Central Body took over participation in this contest. After 2004, the school felt a need to merge both organizations. This was because the members were at a decline and they both had the same objectives and purpose. So they established ''Club Rhetorique''. At the same time they created the Rhetoric elective for sophomore students. Feeling the need for a more competitive debate institution, LSGH-HS's English Department and students from De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde established the ''La Salle Debate Team'' (LSDT) in the SY 2005–2006. The team has autonomy from rules of normal clubs and societies in LSGH and is officially under the Principal's Office, rather than under the Student Activities Coordinator. The LSDT trained under members of the DLS-CSB debate society from 2005 to 2007 and then under members of the

Adult Night High School

The LSGH Adult Night High School (ANHS) was established by the Christian Brothers, in the mid-1970s to provide free, quality Lasallian education to the marginalized, the academic scholarships were not only provided for financially challenged students but also gave assistance to several physically disabled scholars through the LSGH Deaf Learners Program. The program teaches its scholars various vocational courses that would provide skills that empowered them to earn a source of livelihood for themselves. Most of the LSGH-ANHS scholars are post-teen years working students aged from 19 to 65 years who wish to continue their high school education and eventually pursue a 100% tuition-free university and college education later on in a Lasallian educational institution. The ANHS evening classes are held at the High School Building, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. after the regular students' morning classes.Laking Verde – ANHS

The salvation of souls is the uppermost aim of the school, hence the "Helmet of Salvation" and the "Breastplate of Integrity" signify the primary objective. LSGH's motto – ''"To God, through faith, virtue, and culture"'' further emphasizes that the school offers all the greater honor and glory of God. In green and white in classical design, the name and place of the school surround the shield.
