Eligible to Play, On Track to Graduate

Sports That Lift Grades, Not Lower Them

To compete in CIF, a student must keep at least a 2.0 GPA every grading period. At a school our size, no athlete slips through the cracks — coaches and teachers keep every player on track.

2.0 GPA, Every Term

We track each athlete's grades in real time and step in early — long before eligibility is ever at risk.

After-School Tutoring

Teacher-led help from 3:30–5:30 keeps practice and homework in balance.

Small Classes

Teachers who know every student personally — and talk to the coaches.

Character First

Sportsmanship, discipline, and faith come before any scoreboard.
