Mission Statement

Beliefs

We believe that…

• Participation in school activity programs is a privilege and not a right.

• Sportsmanship needs to have a constant presence in all school-based activity programs.

• Students should have an equal opportunity to participate in all activities offered by their school.

• Ethical behavior, dignity and respect are non-negotiable.

• Student participants who choose to be chemically free must be supported.

• Collaborative relationships with parents enhance a school's opportunity to positively impact student success.

• Academic priorities must come before participation in athletic activities.

• Positive role models and an active involvement in a student's life by parents and others are critical to student success.

• High school activity programs are designed for student participants, and adults must serve in a supportive role.

• The success of the team is more important than individual honors.

• Compliance with school, MIAA and Conference rules is essential for all activity participants.

• Participation in school-sponsored activities must be inclusive, not exclusive.

• Ethical behavior, fairness, and embracing diversity best serve students and school communities.
