Our Basic Beliefs . . . Interscholastic athletics exist outside the school day and curriculum and remain there as voluntary, extracurricular programs in which qualifying students earn the privilege of participation.

Our Basic Beliefs . . . Interscholastic athletics are secondary to the academic program of Dearborn High School . . . And provide opportunities to develop loyalty and school spirit, to practice teamwork, hard work, discipline, sacrifice, leadership, and sportsmanship.

Our Basic Beliefs . . . Our emphasis is on participation by many, not by few, and on academic scholarship at Dearborn High School, not athletic scholarships to college.
