ATHLETICS

 Gibbs High School is proud of its athletics program. Although academics are of primary importance, an excellent athletic program in itself can be a very meaningful learning experience. We believe that athletics enhances a student athlete’s opportunity to learn; and helps create within him/her a greater desire to improve one-self. Our goal in athletics is to help the student athlete reach his/her potential academically as well as athletically and to become a more productive member of society after having participated in our athletic program.

Note: Students who are interested in participating in college sports should start the certification process early, (NCAA Clearing House) usually by the end of their junior year. Information concerning the certification process is available in both the Guidance Office and the Athletic Director’s office.
