Our Vision
We create a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where all students have opportunities to participate in a diverse sports program within the Nantucket Public Schools system. Through high-quality athletic programs and coaching, we foster integrity and instill school pride in student-athletes by teaching the values of sportsmanship and a strong work ethic while focusing on safety, respect, and development of the whole child. #WhalerPrideÂ
Our Mission
The athletic program at the Nantucket Public Schools dynamically supports the academic mission of the school. The Nantucket Public School sets high expectations for its coaches and student-athletes. The athletic program at the Nantucket Public Schools will promote interscholastic athletics that provide lifelong learning experiences to student-athletes while enhancing their achievement of educational goals. Our goal is to teach the values of teamwork, pride, respect, commitment, good work ethic, sportsmanship and development of the proper winning attitude. It is our hope that through our athletic program participating student athletes will adopt these guidelines and develop a positive winning attitude that will carry over into all aspects of their lives.
Our Philosophy
Nantucket Public School considers participation in athletics to be an integral part of the overall educational experience. Athletics provides opportunities for physical, mental, emotional, and social development. The competition of athletics is viewed as a valuable experience because it challenges each student-athlete to strive for excellence, helps each student-athlete discover their physical limits, and requires each student-athlete to work cooperatively as a member of a team. While winning is a natural goal in the pursuit of excellence, the principles of good sportsmanship and enjoyment of competition take precedence at all times and enhance the educational value of all contests.
