REGIONVIIMISSIONSTATEMENT

The high schools of Region VII recognize the important role that co-curricular activities and athletics play in the full development of a young person. As in all areas of our schools, Region VII high schools are committed to the equitable opportunities for all young men and young women in activities and athletic programs. Activities and athletic programs are designed to be a complement to the academic programs and pursuits of young people. We hope that the self-discipline, commitment, teamwork and training of the mind and body in the arenas of the playing field and stage will effect similar skill development and success in the classroom. We believe that when structured and pursued with proper balance and perspective, athletics and activities can play a key and positive role in shaping the hearts and minds of our young people. Sports and activities, as much as any other single area of endeavor, hold great potential for bringing people together from diverse backgrounds to pursue shared ideals in a spirit of community.
