Lancaster City Schools Mission Statement
The mission of Lancaster City School is to prepare students of all ages to meet academic, social, civic, cultural, and employment needs of the 21st century.

Athletic Department Philosophy
Lancaster City School has a vision of a community focused on student achievement.  The  participation in athletics by our students promotes that vision. Our athletic programs will develop their athletic skills, encourage a student to be a good citizen, challenge their intellectual skills, and teach the value of teamwork. Athletics are not separate from the educational process, but rather an integral part of it. The lessons learned on the fields and courts are lessons in competition, sacrifice, teamwork, and goal setting. These lessons remain with a student for a lifetime.

The Athletic Department is committed to developing successful athletic programs. The programs are committed to providing a challenging, competitive environment in which the ideals of sportsmanship, personal integrity, moral character, and teamwork are stressed while the opportunity for a student-athlete to develop their athletic skills to their fullest potential exists. Participation in athletics will always be more than a team's won-loss record.
