High School Athletics

The athletic program is an integral part of our school's curriculum. As such, it provides certain opportunities and emphasizes definite outcomes difficult to duplicate in other school activities. A primary purpose of education is to provide each individual with a good background of health and physical fitness. Interscholastic athletics, as part of the overall education program, assists in the achievement of these goals.

Howards Grove High School recognizes the importance of athletics to our school and community. Competition brings everyone together for a common goal, camaraderie, and a sense of pride. Athletics teaches new skills, encourages leadership and teamwork, and provides for lasting friendships. Student athletes are given opportunities to exhibit good sportsmanship and citizenship, along with the learning of commitment and responsibility to their team, school, and community.
