Upper School Athletics
Welcome from the Athletic Director
Hello Panther Families!
From everyone in the Athletic Department, we are excited to prepare for another year of excellence, sportsmanship, and the holistic development of every student-athlete. At TMI, athletics are more than competition — they are an extension of the classroom where young men and women learn resilience, leadership, teamwork, and integrity. Whether you’re stepping onto a field, court, track, or pool deck, you are representing not only yourself but your team, your school, and a legacy of Panther pride. Our goal is to create an environment where every athlete feels supported, challenged, and inspired. We believe in honoring the process, putting in the work, and competing with character.
TMI Athletics is excited to officially join the Southwest Preparatory Conference (SPC). We are prepared, confident, and enthusiastic to compete against some of the most talented athletic programs in all of Texas. We look forward to seeing TMI families support the Panthers at home and on the road!
