Pittsfield Public Schools Athletics Mission Statement

Pittsfield Public Schools and the MIAA believe that educational athletics is an extension of the classroom. Athletics makes our student athletes better physically, mentally and morally. Success, whether in studies, business, or athletics does not just happen, it is the culmination of hours of dedicated work. 

Athletics is a means to accomplish the socialization goals of education. The interaction among individuals in the arena of sport teaches students the value of teamwork, while developing the proper competitive spirit, combined with a sense of fair play and sportsmanship. School sports programs teach sportsmanship and fair play and do it in an atmosphere of mutual respect. The athletic programs of Pittsfield Public Schools seek to provide its student athletes an outlet to pursue their athletic interests. When combined with academic accomplishments, it reflects the Ancient Greek premise that a sound body and mind are essential to a prosperous and happy life.
