Purpose of Athletics The Northside Independent School District Athletic Program plays an integral part in student learning and the development of well rounded students. The purpose of our athletic program is to promote high academic standards along with developing strong character. Our coaches are committed to developing our young men and women to be the best possible student, athlete, and citizen they can possibly become through the spirit of competition. Coaches will motivate our student/athletes to always put forth their best effort in the development of their character, talents, and academic success.

What Successful Instructional Leaders Know: Clearly define what students should know and how we know they know it. Establish and maintain school wide interventions and enrichments. Getting students connected to something positive is instrumental to successful student learning and the development of well rounded students.

Athletic Intervention/Enrichment Interventions are for the students that need more time to learn. Athletics gives these students extra support and motivation to stay in school and not drop out. The poise, character, and self- discipline that is developed in athletics enhances successful student learning in the classroom. Enrichment is for the students that already “have it”. Athletics “stretch” these students to go above and beyond the commitment to excellence in the spirit of competition as well as academic success.
