When Garwin and Green Mountain high schools<!--The districts legally combined in 1992 as per the Iowa Dept. of Education link, but the districts likely combined the high schools through grade sharing earlier--> combined to form the GMG High School in 1987, they adopted the nickname 'Wolverines'. Before the consolidation, Garwin athletes were known as 'Roughriders'.

Student-athletes can now compete in football, volleyball, cross country, boys' and girls' basketball, boys' and girls' track, boys' and girls' golf, baseball, and softball. They share wrestling with East Marshall High School and swimming with Marshalltown High School.

GMG High School has 1 Iowa State High School Championship. The Wolverines claimed the 1987 Class A Iowa State Football Championship in their first year as a combined school. GMG beat Schleswig 20–17 in overtime on a Robbie Sinclair touchdown run. GMG, coached by Fred Weick, finished the 1987 season 12–0, with two overtime wins coming in the first game of the season (vs North Tama) and the '87 championship game.

GMG and Garwin HS before it also have a rich boys' basketball tradition. Garwin won many conference titles and two Iowa State Basketball Tournament runs.  Garwin first made the 1978 Class 1A State Tournament, losing to Lake View-Auburn 54–44. They also made it to the 1983 Class 1A Championship Game, losing to Palmer 61–55.  Garwin/GMG was long coached by Gary Peterson, who, over his 33 years as head coach, amassed a record of 478 wins and 216 losses, which ranks him 34th all-time in Iowa boys' basketball history.

GMG had a lot of success in the mid-1990s, winning back-to-back NICL West titles in boys' basketball and a district football title in 1999. Under coach Jay Freese, the 2007-08 girls' basketball team posted a record of 20-3 and made the program's first-ever regional final.

In the 2010 football season, the team became the first to go 0-10 and lose each game by at least two touchdowns.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011|reason=clairify "first ever" in state? in the country? for Garwin?}} The boys' basketball team also struggled, going 3–17.
