Athletics

The development of successful teams and quality sports programs, with a focus on the welfare of our student-athletes, is very important to the Towns County Schools Athletic Department. We strive to develop and strengthen character, core values, and work ethic within each student-athlete. The Athletic Department is dedicated to the principle that the pursuit of excellence in athletics must be accomplished within the framework of an academic community committed to providing equitable opportunities for all student-athletes, students, and faculty.

Guiding Principles

Below are some guiding principles of the Towns County Athletic Department. These beliefs and attitudes are embedded in our history and guide us in our behavior.

Integrity
We follow the intent and the letter of each rule by which we have agreed to abide. We are honest in our dealings with student–athletes, parents, coaches, opponents, and governing bodies.

Focus on the Individual Participant
We are committed to the personal development and well being of our student-athletes, coaches, and staff. The individuals who participate in our programs at all levels can learn the benefits of teamwork, self-discipline, personal responsibility, the setting of high standards, and the joy of achievement.

Academic and Athletic Excellence
We aspire to achieve success at the highest level of competitive athletics consistent with our resources. We seek to inspire young people to succeed at the highest levels of both academic and athletic performance.

Equity and Access
Athletic opportunities are a vehicle to heighten personal development and thus we believe that the benefits of athletic participation should be available to as many students as possible regardless of gender, race, physical challenges or athletic skill.

Support Services
We are committed to fostering and nurturing a staff that is committed to teaching with integrity, passion, and behaves consistently with the academic and ethical priorities of Towns County High School.
