SPHS Athletics is dedicated to developing student-athletes to compete in interscholastic competition, demonstrating the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, and responsible behavior.  We believe that athletics play an integral role in the mental and physical development of young adults.  To help with this endeavor, SPHS Athletics will continue its partnership with the Positive Coaching Alliance to provide workshops for our student athletes, coaches, and parents.  The main goal of the partnership is to help SPHS continue to develop a healthy mix of competitive athletics while maintaining high standards of sportsmanship.  We recognize that every athletic event involves students, coaches, and parents.  With this in mind, workshops have been scheduled to provide common expectations for these three groups.
