Middle School Athletics
Athletics are an important part of any adolescent experience – from learning new physical skills and sportsmanship to simply enjoying the thrill of activity and competition.
Many students play sports for the sheer love of the game. But in our sports programs at Harker, on top of the thrill of competing and having fun with friends, students experience benefits that support their academic, social and emotional growth in middle school. Our coaches, teachers and club leaders work together to ensure our students are performing in their academics and extracurricular activities. We schedule practices and club meetings at different times so that your student can be on the swim team and the debate team without skipping a beat.
