OUR MISSION:

SCUCISD’s Athletic Department mission is to engage our coaching staff every day through constant communication, motivation, and encouragement to create a positive and meaningful experience for our student-athletes and coaches.  Our vision is to create a department that provides our student-athletes with the resources and opportunities needed to become successful at the highest level possible.

OUR VISION:

• It is important to see athletics as a part of the total educational process.  It should complement and contribute to the overall education of each student.
• A sound, wholesome sports program will contribute to and involve students as participants, support groups, or as spectators.  It will also serve the community by providing entertainment and establishing a common ground of interest.  This common interest will draw our communities together in support of our various sports programs and the students that compete for these programs. 
• The combination of sports and academics can be a tremendous experience in a young person’s life.  A broad and sound sports program for all students can provide invaluable experiences for the participants.

WHAT WE VALUE:

• Developing the total student: academically, socially, and physically
• Encouraging each student to compete both on the field and in the classroom
• Developing an awareness in each student of the importance that a positive mental attitude plays toward success in every aspect of life
• Teaching personal acceptance of responsibility to student athletes
• Teaching all students the importance of each and every team member as well as embracing cultural diversity
• Developing an appreciation for the team concept (trust, loyalty, selflessness)
• Instilling values of honesty, integrity, character, and confidence
• Teaching the importance of establishing priorities, setting goals,  and overcoming adversity
• Teaching an appreciation for sportsmanship
• Reaching the maximum athletic potential of each individual and each team
• Pursuing a competitive level in each sport
