Our role as Catholic educators is not limited to the classroom; the ability to instill the Gospel values and promote these truths through athletic participation is at the core of the Athletic Department.
St. Edmund Preparatory High School believes that a dynamic program of extracurricular student activities is significant to the educational, social, and emotional development of the individual.
Students learn a great deal from their participation in interscholastic athletics. Lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, leadership, and competition are integral parts of team goals in our athletic department.
Athletics play an important role in helping the individual student develop a healthy mind, body, and spirit. Athletic competition adds to school spirit and helps students, parents, spectators, and participants develop pride in their school.
St. Edmund Preparatory High School further encourages the development and promotion of sportsmanship, ethics and integrity in all phases of the educational process and in all segments of the community, including administrators, teachers, coaches, participants, parents, and fans.
