EXTRA-CURRICULAR ATHLETIC
PROGRAM |
|
The Saint Henry athletic program is formed by the basic
principles that sports develop healthy minds and bodies. We
feel that athletics teach students, coaches and parents
invaluable lessons outside the classroom such as: teamwork,
sportsmanship, performing under pressure, and grace in
victory as well as defeat. |
