Mission Statement Our mission as a program is to help young people develop physically, socially, and academically through the game of football. We will use the football field as a classroom to learn life skills such as teamwork, discipline, commitment, accountability, overcoming adversity, and developing relationships. By doing this, our student athletes will be better prepared for success after high school. Through service as a program, and by developing leadership, we will make our school and community a better place. We will hold ourselves to the highest standards, both on and off the field, and represent our school with pride, class, and dignity at all times. We will come together as a family to support one another, in good times, and in bad.
