routinely strive to maximize their competitive successes against all

PHILOSOPHY OF OUR
EDUCATION-BASED ATHLETIC PROGRAMS
Interscholastic
athletics is an integral part of the student experience. Participation in
athletics provides students with an unrivaled opportunity to develop life
skills such as a strong work ethic, discipline, dedication, teamwork,
collaboration, unselfishness, leadership, time management, and how to respond
to failures and successes. Winning is an important part of our athletic
programs, but only to the extent that it enhances the development of our
student-athletes. In addition to developing fundamental skills and
knowledge of their sports, our programs are designed to contribute to the
student-athlete’s physical and mental health and maturity, as well as foster
high character and moral values. Participation in athletics is a
privilege offered to our students; One that comes with their willingness to
accept the responsibilities that are associated with being part of our
programs.
