MESSAGE FROM AD RILEY:
Welcome back, SMS Tiger family! The Stockbridge Middle School Athletics Department is excited to usher in another exciting year of cheering, touchdowns, strikeouts, three-pointers, pinfalls, spikes, and photo finishes! I am Kwame Riley and as your SMS Athletics Director I have never been more excited about the hard work and dedication our athletes and coaches are putting in to make this the best year ever for SMS Athletics! We are striving to provide a positive athletic environment rooted in our athletics departments’ four pillars of Accountability, Discipline, Character, and Integrity. Our core mission is to use athletics as a platform to grow our young student athletes, equipping them with the necessary tools they can use on the field of life.
As your Athletic Director, it is my privilege to work alongside our coaches, student-athletes, families, and community to ensure our sports program is a positive, competitive, and lifelong educational experience. Middle school athletics should be about much more than just wins and losses—it’s about learning teamwork, sportsmanship, resilience, and excellence. Our athlete’s “why” must be greater than them. Our goal is to help every athlete grow not only in skills, but also in life. Together, let’s make this a phenomenal year! Go Tigers!
