After many years of sharing sports teams with Dows High School, and competing as CAL–Dows, Dows left the agreement and partnered with Clarion–Goldfield for the 2014–15 school year. The CAL school district still supports grades K–6, with grades 7–12 attending Hampton–Dumont; the athletic teams are referred to as Hampton-Dumont-CAL.{{Cite web|url=https://globegazette.com/news/local/cal-likely-to-begin-whole-grade-sharing-with-hampton-dumont/article_b568656f-b5b3-506c-aac7-f589a7871458.html|title=CAL likely to begin whole-grade sharing with Hampton-Dumont|website=Mason City Globe Gazette|date=5 January 2017 }}
