MISSION STATEMENT OF ROCKVILLE ATHLETICS

A comprehensive and balanced interscholastic athletic pro­gram is an integral part of the total educational process. While the high school athletic program serves as an arena for the student-athlete to display his/her talents, student-athletes must, in turn, be willing to accept the responsibility to self, to team, and to school. The value of athletics as an educational tool provides opportunities for mastery of educational learning outcomes and exiting skills. The student-athlete will demon­strate self discipline, emotional control, and the ideals for good sportsmanship. The student-athlete will be given opportuni­ties and experiences to develop a healthy self-esteem, a strong competitive attitude, and a desire to reach his/her fullest potential. Through group participation, the student-athlete will develop the skills of cooperation and commitment. The student-athlete will demonstrate ethical qualities and be capable of taking his/her place in modern society. Participation in interscholastic athletics is a privilege, not a right.

 

The driving forces behind Rockville athletes are:

1. to show a commitment, responsibility, and dedication to his/her sport of participation.
2. to show a willingness to improve his/her level of performance.
3. to conduct himself/herself in a positive role model manner.
4. to understand and show the true meaning of Ram Pride.
