Athletic Advisory Committee

Mission Statement

The mission of the Athletic Advisory Committee of the Schenectady City School District is to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare and fostering a positive student-athlete image.

To fulfill its mission, the high school program must:

  1. Provide student-athletes every opportunity to meet academic and athletic demands with the goal of graduating every student-athlete.
     
  2. Provide a rigorous athletic program which complements and supports a challenging academic program by teaching students to persevere, to work well with others, and to test themselves.
     
  3. Foster positive attitudes toward the school by the general public.
     
  4. Teach the athletes to be responsible students on the playing fields and courts.
     
  5. Provide excellent facilities for all athletes to train, practice and play.
