Beliefs 

• Participation in co-curricular activities is a privilege, not a right.

• Academic priorities must come before participation in co-curricular activities. 

• Co-curricular activities serve as an extension of the school day, a “7th period” with coaches serving the role of teacher.

• “Why We Play” is much more important than the results on the scoreboard.

• Sportsmanship needs to have a constant presence in all school-based activity programs. 

• Ethical behavior, dignity and respect are non-negotiable. 

• Collaborative relationships with parents enhance a school's opportunity to positively impact student success. 

• Compliance with school, community and MSHSL rules is essential for all activity participants. 

• High school activity programs are designed for student participants, and adults are expected to serve in a supportive role. 

• Positive role models and active involvement in an athlete’s life are critical for success.

• Team selection and playing time is not a direct reflection on a student’s self-worth.

• The success of the team is more important than individual honors and is dependent upon the contribution of all team members. 

• Participation in school-sponsored activities must be inclusive and embrace diversity.

• Coaches, directors, and advisors will work with each other to ensure that students can be involved in multiple activities, including athletics, fine arts, and academics.
