PURPOSE 

The interscholastic athletic programs of the Fremont Union High School District are an important part of the comprehensive educational program provided by the District. The athletic programs provide opportunities for students to grow physically, mentally and emotionally and promote the personal development of good citizenship and sportsmanship while meeting the district’s mission of educating capable, caring, contributing citizens for life. 

PHILOSOPHY

Competitive co-curricular activities mean more than competition between individuals representing different schools. It is, rather, a means of learning a way of life which exemplifies the philosophy that hard work, drive, and determination bring eventual success. Good sportsmanship, both as a winner and a loser, and the concept of self- discipline and self-esteem are inherent parts of any student’s participation. 

Co-curricular activities are a part of the total education program and as such contribute to the development of desirable learning habits and outcomes in knowledge, skills, and emotional patterns. 

Co-curricular activities are an integral part of school life. When carefully planned and operated, they:

  • Extend and reinforce the instructional program.

  • Give students practice in democratic self-government. 

  • Build student morale and promote positive support for the school.

  • Provide wholesome social and recreational activities.

  • Contribute to the enhancement of all segments of a multi-cultural student body. Promote cooperation and team work.

  • Develop self-discipline and self-esteem.
