Welcome to University High School athletics! Athletics at University High School are an integral part of the school's total educational program. We believe that participation in athletics provides the opportunity for developing lifetime skills that will help students become well-rounded individuals capable of making decisions and handling challenging situations. Our programs aim to provide our student athletes with competitive experiences that are fun, challenging and promote individual growth within a safe and healthy environment. In addition, our program builds self-confidence, develops teamwork, promotes sportsmanship and seeks to instill a lifelong love of physical activity.
The athletic program was started in the 2001-2002 school year with nearly 80 percent of our students participating on one or more of our various athletic teams. Participation in our athletic program is strongly encouraged for all students regardless of experience level. We have an inclusive policy and believe that if you are willing to make the commitment to being a part of the program then you should have a place on the team. In addition, many of our athletes are involved in various other school activities. The faculty and staff work together to manage schedules so that students can take advantage of the many extracurricular activities that we have to offer. We feel that these opportunities should be offered to all students because they provide a unique learning and developmental experience that is supported by our overall educational mission.
In addition, we have students who participate in programs outside of University High School in hockey, lacrosse, equestrian, softball and swimming.
Thanks for visiting our athletics website. We are looking forward to the continued development and successes of our athletic teams.
