The athletic program offers a wide variety of activities for male and female students. These activities are an integral part of the educational process. The goals of the program are to promote character and leadership, physical and mental fitness, opportunities for recreational pursuits, and athletic excellence through instruction and competition.
The athletics program provides students opportunities to experience the need for emotional control, to think quickly, and to act appropriately while under the pressure of competition. Emphasis is placed on providing a wholesome atmosphere around which school loyalties may be rallied and school spirit developed. Interacting in a group setting and learning to contribute within an established system of rules and regulations help students develop responsibility for themselves and for the group. Qualities such as discipline, pride, dedication, punctuality, and the ability to win and lose with grace, transfer to students’ lives and enable them to be good citizens and effective leaders.
