Middle School Athletics

Here at Hawken, participation in our athletic program is not only a joy but also a privilege and a valuable educational experience. Its impact can be great upon the student athlete, and with that in mind, students, faculty, and parents approach the game with the following high standards and moral values in mind: fair play, individuality and community, learning with passion and rigor, tradition and innovation, and diversity. These ideals reflect the goals of the School as a whole and are applied specifically to the athletic program, as it serves as another arena in which students learn to improve themselves. Here, just as in the classroom, student athletes achieve one success after another.

HAWKEN ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT
The Hawken Athletics Department considers athletics an integral part of education and believes that participation in sports develops and instills the qualities of sportsmanship, character and leadership. Being a part of a team not only promotes a healthy lifestyle but provides multiple opportunities for skill enhancement, competition, collaboration, and cooperation. We also believe that physical fitness and discipline can help promote academic success, and we expect that our athletes take pride in their performance in the classroom as well as on the field. While we strive to build competitive, winning teams, our primary mission is to promote the value of school spirit and fair play.
