Michelle York, Athletic Director
Our school mascot is the Gryphon, a mythological creature with the body of a lion and the wings and head of an eagle. Symbolizing intelligence and strength, the Gryphon represents the holistic education for which we are known.
Mission.
The mission of the St. George’s Upper School Athletic program is to develop our student-athletes’ gifts, exemplify strong values, and serve God.
Philosophy.
St. George’s Athletics is founded on the teaching of Judeo-Christian values. These values and corresponding philosophies may differ substantially from schools with other philosophies or beliefs. Our philosophy of athletics should provide an opportunity for others outside the St. George’s community to visualize actions and principles that are quite unique in today’s society. The St. George’s athletic program is a wonderful opportunity to bless the community through exemplary actions, attitudes, sportsmanship, and a high level of individual and team athletic skill. The challenge for our student-athletes, parents, and coaches is to adhere to the mission and core values of St. George’s and always seek to put others before ourselves.
The following priorities of athletic participants are based on the mission of the school.
All participants must understand, agree, and adhere to the mission and core values of St. George’s Independent School and Athletic Department.
The spiritual, psychological, and physical well-being of the individual athlete must take precedence over any individual or team athletic accomplishment.
Athletic excellence and accompanying awards should be strived for and established as appropriate goals for any athlete or team but not the sole focus and/or purpose.
Core Values.
Our athletic department is committed to fostering an environment that embodies the following core values to guide our conduct, decision-making, and the holistic development of our student-athletes.
- Judeo-Christian values
- Responsibility
- Integrity
- Trust
- Teamwork
- Enthusiasm
- Respect
Sportsmanship. Teamwork. Leadership. Commitment.
The St. George’s athlete is committed to sportsmanship, teamwork and leadership. St. George’s believes in enriching the lives of our student-athletes through robust athletic experiences, interscholastic competition and a comprehensive fitness and nutrition program. On the playing field, as in the classroom, St. George's promotes citizenship, leadership, teaches the importance of sportsmanship and fair play, and aims to inspire a passionate pursuit of excellence.
