PHILOSOPHY

Marengo Community Middle School is committed to providing a well-rounded education experience for all students. The athletic program is an extension of what happens in the middle school classroom and expands the learning opportunities available to students. All these skills combined help students to reach their potential as citizens in a global society. 

Marengo Community Middle School offers a wide array of athletic programs to provide learning opportunities to students who wish to develop special skills, teamwork, and talents to a higher level. Athletics is a learning experience and all team members, regardless of ability, will be afforded the opportunity to develop their skills. The experiences encountered during middle school athletics should be enjoyable and positive. Athletes, coaches, and parents should work in a spirit of cooperation. While involvement in athletics is voluntary, Marengo Community Middle School believes that it is a privilege and students choosing to participate take on additional responsibilities as a representative of their school and community. These responsibilities hold the student to a higher standard of conduct as a condition of participation. 

“To Be a Warrior” outlines the expectations for those who choose to be involved in Marengo Community Middle School athletics. The school expects that all students who choose to participate in athletics will honor these guidelines. We hope that the experiences will be meaningful and pleasant for everyone involved and will promote an increased learning opportunity for all students.
