About

Interscholastic athletics are a very important part of the total educational program at Catholic High School. The purpose of athletic activities is to promote an opportunity for the student-athlete to learn and grow in ways not available in a traditional classroom setting.
One of the most important elements in a successful athletic program is morale. The effect of a player’s actions and attitude upon team morale is the greatest means of his worth to the squad. It is our belief that discipline, well-earned pride, and a high degree of commitment contribute to gaining morale.

Athletic participation guidelines have been established based on our philosophy of athletics at Catholic High School:

  1. Education comes first. Athletics should enhance one’s academic progress.
  2. The student-athlete should always conduct himself/herself in a truly Christian manner.
  3. An emphasis on involvement. The more people we can involve in athletics, the greater contribution we can make in the development of better citizens.
