Athletics
The Athletic Program at Holton-Arms is an integral part of the total educational experience. Students participate in a program that reflects the School’s philosophy of diversity, continual growth and achievement, and the development of the individual’s greatest potential.
Athletics provide a healthy outlet for our student’s physical energy and act as positive reinforcement of values, which are essential to character building. Coaches emphasize striving for excellence in skill development, good sportsmanship, selfless teamwork, and achievement of personal and team goals.
The Athletic Department works with individual players to help them find balance among academic, artistic, and athletic responsibilities. Practices and games are scheduled to not conflict with academic classes, and students must balance the demands of a competitive athletic program and their challenging academic schedule.
