Athletics

OMHS Athletic Philosphy

In accordance with the Colorado State High School Activities By-laws, participation in interscholastic activities as a part of a school’s educational program is a privilege and not a right. Students wishing to participate are required to meet standards of personal behavior and academic performance, which are related to school purposes.

Athletics play an important part in the life of Olathe Middle High School students. Young people learn a great deal from participation in interscholastic athletics. Lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, competition, and how to win and lose gracefully are an integral part of each team in our athletic program. In addition, lessons on follow through, commitment, leadership, and even adversity will strengthen the character of dedicated athletes. Athletics also play an important part in helping the individual student develop a healthy self-concept as well as a healthy body. Athletic competition adds to our school spirit and helps all students and spectators, as well as participants, develop pride in our community.
