• Mission Statement

    The mission of the Seneca Valley Athletics program is to offer an exceptional student-athlete experience which complements classroom learning and enhances the overall development—academic, athletic, and social—of each of its participating students. Along with the pursuit of excellence, developing our student-athletes into respectful, honorable, and responsible citizens of the community is a principle objective and vital component of our success.

    Middle School Athletics

    In addition, the objective of our Middle School Athletics program is to familiarize our student-athletes with competitive interscholastic sport, introduce them to rules, rewards, and consequences, teach them about the team taking precedence over the individual, demonstrate the importance of learning and practicing fundamentals, and instill a level of discipline that traverses athletics into academics. We believe that winning is measured by more than just a scoreboard and that all participants should have reasonable opportunity to develop and demonstrate their skill in competitive opportunities.

    Vision

    The Seneca Valley Athletics program will take a leadership position in interscholastic athletics demonstrating that championship athletic experiences and commitment to academic excellence are not mutually exclusive. The student-athletes and coaches of Seneca Valley will embrace their responsibility as community leaders, honor their role as representatives of the District, and conduct themselves with the highest ethical standards.
