Athletics programming in the Houston Independent School District is an integral component of the educational opportunities we offer. Athletics offer positive and meaningful experiences that assist in enhancing the growth and development of young men and women. Our primary goal is to create a teaching lab where student-athletes flourish and commit to cooperative goals, learn perseverance, learn to accept winning and losing graciously, sacrifice for others, and cooperatively pursue victory. 

We will strive to offer as many athletic teams and opportunities as can be adequately coached, managed, and supported. Competitive teams will be selected on the basis of need, interests, and abilities, and student-athletes will be placed on teams appropriate to those abilities. Sub-varsity teams will focus on player development, and varsity teams will focus on competing at the highest level. The coaching staff is responsible for player selection, and their decisions with regard to playing time, strategy, and team makeup are based on their day-to-day interaction with student-athletes.

We expect our coaching staff to be positive role models who demonstrate deep knowledge of their sport and a commitment to the holistic development of their athletes. While winning championships is a valued goal, it should be a natural outcome of principled coaching and healthy competition. 

Athletics are not merely extracurricular—they are an extension of the classroom that enhances the academic curriculum and advances the mission of our schools and district. With that in mind, we strive to instill the following qualities in all student-athletes:

Student Athletes Qualities
  • Goal-orientation 
  • Competitiveness
  • Team player mindset
  • Commitment 
  • Self-discipline

  • Strong work ethic
  • Self-confidence
  • Accountability 
  • Respect for self and others
  • Leadership
  • Ability to deal with adversity

Our desire is that through their participation in sports, student-athletes will have fun and build lifelong relationships. Their athletic endeavors will teach them how to release stress in a healthy manner and instill fitness for life as a core habit. The ultimate product of this investment will be healthy adults who contribute to their communities in a positive way.
