Athletic Teams and Coaches
The administration and coaching staff of St. Michael’s High School consider being Horsemen and Lady Horsemen athletes a privilege and an honor, as well as a responsibility. Our athletes are expected to maintain proper conduct at all times; display positive leadership; strive for the highest in moral and spiritual values; and maintain good grades.
The support of our parents for our athletes is vital to their success. All parents who support our teams must adhere to St. Michael’s, the Athletic Department’s and the NMAA’s guidelines regarding the honorable pursuit of victory in athletic competitions: support coaches publically at all times; support officials, referees, and their decisions; represent our students, our families, and St. Michael’s High School in a responsible and respectful manner.
