Lunenburg Middle-High School Athletic Department Philosophy
The Interscholastic Athletic Program at Lunenburg High School is committed to the Mission Statement of Lunenburg Public Schools, which states:
“We prepare our students for lifelong learning and responsible community membership. We provide a culture and climate that is safe, personalized and collaborative so that all students become literate, self-directed and reflective individuals who contribute to their communities and effectively transfer learning to new contexts.”
It is the district firm belief that athletics are an extension of the school day. Our coaches are charged with the responsibility to teach the values of accepting success graciously, accountability, citizenship, sportsmanship, confidence, tolerance, handling disappointment, leadership, organizational skills, participation within the rule, performing under pressure, persistence, work ethic, physical well-being, responsibility, sacrifice, self-discipline, social skills, striving towards excellence, taking instruction and teamwork.
The athletic program strives to have all student-athletes play with “poise and class.” This is an essential part of the instruction that occurs at each practice session and game. Our athletes and coaches represent our school and community and are expected to model these values on and off the field.
GO, BLUE KNIGHTS!
