PANTHER PLEDGE

We want our program to be dedicated to producing young men of character who strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives. It is to this end and with our tradition of excellence in mind that we have developed the following list of characteristics often found in championship-caliber student athletes.
During the off-season, the student-athlete:

• Performs to the best of his ability in the classroom, fully understanding that academics should be the top priority.
• Follows all rules and regulations outlined in the athletic department code of conduct.
• Gives back to his community through community service and volunteer work.
• Understands that all of his actions, either positive or negative, reflect upon his family, school, teammates and coaches.
• Engages in at least one other competitive interscholastic sport.
• Participates in a supervised weight-training program in order to become bigger, faster and stronger.
• Makes every effort to participate in off-season activities, such as summer league and summer camp aimed at strengthening relationships with his teammates.
