MGSD Athletic Philosophy 

The Board believes that it is the purpose of an interscholastic program to provide the benefits of an athletic experience to as large a number of students as feasible within the District. Interscholastic athletic programs provide certain opportunities and emphasize definite aims difficult to duplicate in other school activities. A primary purpose of athletics is to provide each individual with a good background in health and physical fitness. Interscholastic athletics, as a part of the overall educational program, certainly assists in the achievement of these goals.

The experience derived from participation in interscholastic athletics should be enjoyable and beneficial. Even though victories are significant in any athletic program, it is understood that they do not come at the expense of educational objectives. In recognition of this fact, it should be emphasized that positive reinforcement should be the primary motivator used when coaching athletes. Participation by all students is encouraged.
