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.
