Congratulations to the students and parents of the Graduating Class of 2024! It is always special to watch each 8th-grade student walk across the stage. For those parents who graduated your last and/or only child through Golf on Tuesday, I hope you leave with fond memories of your experience at Golf and I wish you and your family the best in the future!

Most sports are for students in 7th (JV) and 8th (Varsity) grades. For some sports, we offer opportunities to the 6th graders. That depends on the interest at the 7th and 8th-grade levels.
IF you have a child who is planning on trying out for one of the seasons below next year, he/she
MUST have a current sports physical on file in the nurse's office.
PLEASE DO NOT WAIT. A student cannot try out without a current physical on file.
