Athletics
Our school athletic program promotes the development of social interaction skills, motor skills, and teamwork while providing the children with an opportunity for recreational experiences. Sports help students to develop an active and healthy lifestyle and a desire to be a part of the “Bearcat Athletic” spirit. The high behavior and academic expectations that we have for our athletes also promote wise choices and time management.
We believe our mission in athletics is to teach students about the importance of discipline, hard work, and commitment. This is accomplished through daily, structured practice with attention to detail. The athletic program shall be directed so that the welfare of all students will be the primary concern. Fundamental emphasis shall be placed on the philosophy that athletic activities are an extension of the educational program and are justifiable only to the extent that they are desirable learning experiences. Sportsmanship will be the top priority of Bearcat athletics. Commitment to fair play, integrity, and genuine empathy for others must be taught and practiced if we are to make a difference. Athletics should assist in the development of fellowship and goodwill. Athletics will play an important role in developing a healthy self-image as well as a healthy body. Athletics will also contribute to school/community spirit and pride. Bearcat Athletics promotes the concept of winning while inspiring the development of athletic skills for 4th - 8th-grade student-athletes. This concept allows the successful transition of the student-athlete to high school sports.
