Regarding its athletics program, the school says, “Many of our student-athletes go on to compete at the collegiate and even professional level. More importantly, our student-athletes graduate with lifelong friendships and a stronger character.”
“We hold our student-athletes to the highest expectations. We require them to demonstrate integrity, sportsmanship, and camaraderie; and, in addition to teaching them the skills of the game, we instill in our student-athletes life skills that they can bring to college and beyond.”
