Athletics are an excellent means of bringing together home, school, and community, while contributing to the personal growth, and education of students. The interscholastic athletic program should provide the opportunity to compete in athletic contests with other schools; contribute in a positive way toward the total development of participants; aid the student in acquiring new friendships; further community spirit; and develop good sportsmanship.

The overall purpose of the Puyallup School District is academic growth and success. Athletics do not supplant this purpose. It is the Athletics Department’s expectation that students will make appropriate progress toward academic expectations, requirement, and graduation.
