Athletics

The Kansas City Public School District Department of Athletics and Activities philosophy carries the belief that student participation in any part or our programs is a privilege which carries with it responsibilities to the school, activity, student body, the community, and to the athlete themselves. Participation represents a complete commitment not only to the field/court but the classroom as well.

Mission

Our mission is to create and provide equitable opportunities to develop students to reach their full potential in a positive, challenging, competitive, and safe environment while emphasizing sportsmanship and principles aligned with our district policies. We support you as you strive to grow emotionally, mentally, socially, and physically through our athletics and activities.

KCPS Athletics Goals For…

Our goal is to provide a framework for successful participation in athletics and activities, outline our expectations of you as a student-athlete, and provide the necessary information and materials for meeting eligibility requirements. We encourage our students to try a variety of sports and activities.

Our goal is to help you become more informed and knowledgeable about eligibility, academic, and sportsmanship expectations for student athletes attending KCPS. We hope the information provided within this handbook makes the student and parent experience with the Interscholastic League athletic programs more enjoyable.
