Athletics is an integral part of the school program and, as such, is a vital facet in the life of the school. The purpose of the athletic program is to offer as many opportunities as possible to develop athletic skills, good attitudes, strong character, and school spirit, which reach beyond the athletic fields.

 

The various levels of our program have different functions and reasons for existing:

 

This program accommodates athletes whose interest and skills go beyond the intramural level, yet who are not ready to compete at the varsity level. Students capable of making these teams should all be given ample opportunity to play in as many contest as possible, as this is the training ground for future varsity competition and for honing special skills needed for the varsity team. This program is not designed for the senior student-athlete.

 

Varsity

This is the program designed to compete against the best teams from other schools. It is possible for students from grades 9 through 12 to compete at this level in a particular activity. The varsity program is the school’s athletic showcase and should always represent the best we have to put forward at any time. The excellence we seek from coaches and athletes in the varsity phase of our athletic program is not less than the excellence we seek from students and teachers in the classroom. Opportunities to play in contests are determined by the coach.
