Athlete

Athletics plays an integral role in the lives of Holton students. Our sports activities and physical education classes teach us to enjoy the mental, physical, and ethical balance that stems from teamwork, self-sacrifice, and perseverance. At Holton, we are committed to providing numerous opportunities that enable students to develop and nurture the knowledge and skills necessary to live healthy, active lives.

Holton athletes participate in sports for all kinds of reasons:

• They play because sports are fun and satisfying.
• They play to improve.
• They play to stay fit.
• There are many lessons sports can teach - leadership, teamwork, sportsmanship, giving 100%, working toward a shared goal, and winning and losing gracefully.
• They play for Panther Pride.

The School’s philosophy of diversity, continual growth and achievement, and the development of the individual’s greatest potential plays a significant role in our athletic program.
