Good Morning,

Please review the important information and key dates below for the 2026 Fall Sports Season and 2026/2027 school year, as well as an important change to our annual preseason meeting.


Important Change to Our Annual Parent/Player Meeting

Beginning this school year, we are changing the format of our mandatory parent/player meeting. Instead of holding separate meetings for each sports season throughout the year, we will now host one mandatory Athletic Department meeting at the start of the school year for all student-athletes and their families.

If your child plans to participate in any sport during the 2026-2027 school year, a parent/guardian and the student-athlete should plan to attend.
