Athletics should function as an integral part of the total High School experience. It offers opportunities to serve the institution, to assist in the development of positive relationships and good will, to promote self-realization, all around growth, and good citizenship qualities.
The athletic experience shall provide an opportunity for students to experience success and realize the value of participation without overemphasizing the importance of winning.
It is intended to develop high ideals of fairness in relationships, along with being socially competent and operate within a set of rules, thus giving a respect for the rights of others.
We offer a variety of activities in which students may get involved and further their experience at Ottawa Hills.
