Our Philosophy
Our athletic program is an integral part of the total curriculum. It provides our students the opportunity for physical, social and emotional growth through interscholastic competition. Student-athletes, coaches and parents are called upon to work together in a true spirit of sportsmanship to assist in creating an environment in which we remain faithful to the philosophy of the Sacred Heart education.
The goal of the athletic program is to provide a positive educational experience for our athletes. We offer a broad range of programs at Carrollton, each responsive to the developmental needs of our students. Through competition, students can develop greater knowledge of their physical potential, the self confidence that comes from exceeding personal limits, and a deeper understanding of the joys and responsibilities of being part of a team.
We provide our students with an opportunity to participate in a wide variety of sports. Such participation is a privilege that carries with it responsibilities to the school, sport, student body, community, and student-athlete. We are committed to supplying the necessary tools for a successful program, and in return, we require a high level of commitment from our athletes.
