GREYHOUND ATHLETICS

The middle school athletic experience is, for the most part, the first interscholastic experience for students, and the initial opportunity for a student to represent his or her school in interscholastic competition. While many students experience athletics through community youth sports programs, middle school athletics offer the first chance to play against a team from a neighboring school, offering a new and unique opportunity.
