Athletics Overview
Highlanders athletics strives to offer a variety of sports and extracurricular activities that are competitive and provide opportunities to students to learn, grow and participate in the sport they enjoy to promote wellness and develop character.
Highlanders athletics, under the NLESD athletics policies, works with School Sports NL and provincial sport governing bodies and other schools and programs to provide a variety of meaningful sport competitions for our sports teams to train for and participate in.
In sports there these is more than SSNL events (or 1 event), and where there is a high attended and competitive tryout, we strive to provide additional teams to represent HHM.
Our teams are tiered: Varsity (A), Senior High B, Senior High C, Senior High D
Team rosters are never final. Rosters are subject to change throughout the year due to varying circumstances as deemed necessary by the athletics department and in conjunction with the school administration following school and NLESD policy.
