ATHLETICSTiger Pride

First of all, TIGER PRIDE!

The Culture, Commitment and Competitiveness philosophy is strong and vibrant on our court, Fields, and courses.

Last week we had many exciting moments in sports. Our Tiger golfers had a great week with qualifying scores and winning their matches. The freshmen and JV football team put up a great Fight during their games on Thursday. The freshmen gave us a glimpse of what we can see in our future by beat CDO at the Tiger Pride stadium. The JV battled with true Tiger spirit and fell short just minutes at the end of the game. Swim is having a great season and has competed extremely well against their opponents, winning many of their meets. We are coming to the end of the fall sports season and have some really exciting games in the coming weeks. We look forward to seeing you…TIGER PRIDE!
