GOALS
The 5th-12th grade interscholastic athletic program recognizes the Word of God as its foundation. Under the direction of the Athletic Director, each sport has been designed to build the character of Christ within each participating student. Every athlete and cheerleader is taught that he or she is a representative of Christ, his or her family, and the school.
The Athletic Program serves to develop strong character within each student through emphasis on:
- Leadership through servanthood
- Physical discipline
- Loyalty, perseverance and humility
- Commitment
- An active relationship with Christ
- Knowledge of God’s Word
- Biblical principles about goal setting, vision, and the power of the tongue

Outstanding athletes are recognized at the close of each season at a special sports banquet. Graduates have gone on to successful college sports careers, some with scholarships.
INTRAMURAL SPORTS
Energetic third - sixth graders “early bird” soccer and basketball before school on select days. Older students enjoying leisurely competition may participate in intramural sports offered as interest level allows fielding of teams.
