Dear Athletes and Parents,

Welcome to the Beacon City School District's Athletic Program. Your interest in this phase of our school program is gratifying. I believe that participation in athletics provides the opportunity for developing lifetime skills that will help students in becoming well-rounded individuals capable of making decisions and handling problems. These skills will enable students to lead a happy and prosperous life.

The main goal for the Beacon Interscholastic Athletic program is to provide competitive experiences that are fun, successful and promote individual growth within a safe and healthy environment. These experiences will become high school memories that will last a lifetime.

Our program consists of 46 teams for both boys and girls in grades 7-12. Most of our sports programs have three levels of competition: modified (middle school), junior varsity and varsity.

The athletic program is governed by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association and the Beacon City School District Board of Education. Rombout Middle School and Beacon High School are members of the NYSPHSAA and Section One. We compete as a Class B school and our league affiliation is Conference II, League A.

Beacon's athletic program is "committed to excellence" in the gyms and on the fields, as well as in the classroom. I would hope that students will take advantage of the opportunity to be involved in our athletic program.

If there is anything I can do to make participation a better learning experience, please feel free to contact my office at BHS, 838-6950.
