OUR MISSION
Interscholastic athletics is a unique out-of-class opportunity for students to further engage in their development, find new potential and foster positive citizenship. Through participation, students strive to become better students, leaders, citizens and athletes. The combined goal of athletics and education is to prepare students for college, career and community. During participation, students should learn leadership, personal responsibility, planning, goal setting and conflict resolution. Through competition, players will develop decision-making, respect and community responsibility.
Additionally, athletics play an integral part in a community building an identity; the cooperative efforts of the student body, teachers, coaches, advisors, parents and community make the interscholastic-athletic experience second to none.
