At Halifax West High School, being a student-athlete means that academics always come first. While athletic involvement is encouraged and celebrated, success in the classroom is the top priority. A student-athlete is not just someone who participates in both school and sports—they are a student above all. This dual role demands strong discipline, responsibility, and time management. At HWHS, we expect all athletes to lead by example—excelling in their studies, representing our school with integrity, and making a positive impact both in competition and throughout the school community.
Halifax West has a wide variety of sports teams for student athletes. All teams have volunteer coaches. Thank you to all the coaches who give their time and energy to make our school sports program a success.
Every team has fees that must be paid in order to play. These fees cover facility rentals, sport safety gear, travel costs, uniforms and officiating costs. Fees are set for each season by the coaches. Fees can vary from year to year because of travel schedules, size of team, and changing costs. In addition to team fees there may be a cost for team travel to a Provincial Championship and team swag gear.
