Athletics are considered an integral part of the school's educational program. By emphasizing the importance of self-discipline, sacrifice, and dedication, interscholastic sports can be a valuable educational resource in fostering student achievement.
Athletics provides experiences that may be difficult to duplicate in other areas of a student's education. The program operates within the overall objectives and goals of the education program.
