Athletics & Physical Fitness
Our goal is for every student to have a positive experience when taking part in fitness and sports.
The Middle School Athletics & Physical Fitness program fosters growth in the areas physical health and well-being, social interaction, cognitive development, and character education. GSB coaches, teachers, and staff work with our young student-athletes to help them build the skills to create a healthy lifestyle and to value balance as part of their education.

Students in Grades Six through Eighth have the option to participate in interscholastic competitions during the Fall, Winter, and Spring seasons. These teams have a no-cut policy, but a full commitment to practices and games is expected.
