Athletics Philosophy
We believe that:
The student-athlete foundation is based on CHARACTER, which is comprised of the ASD Core Values of respect, responsibility, compassion, integrity, and excellence, along with the Athletic Values of belief, trust, and contribution.
It is the RELATIONSHIPS student-athletes develop with their teammates, coaches, peer groups, and our community that enhance their character and strengthen their foundation to excel in both ACADEMICS and ATHLETICS.
By being involved in ASD athletics, students will benefit from an experience that will make them better people for having participated.
