Shrine Catholic Schools Athletic Department Student-Athlete/Parent Handbook 2018-19 1 Revised 7/12/2018 Faith • Family • Future Dear Parents, Students, and Coaches, Welcome to Shrine Catholic High School! In choosing to attend Shrine Catholic High School, you have elected a Christ-centered Catholic education and academic excellence. Many wonderful opportunities await you. One of those opportunities is the availability of interscholastic athletics. As a Catholic school community, we all must consider the appropriate role of athletics here at Shrine. It is our belief that athletics at Shrine is an integral part of our overall ministry to students. Consequently, athletics is viewed as a program that plays its part in the development of the whole child at Shrine. By keeping in mind that athletics is indeed a form of youth ministry, we hope to foster a spirit of hard work, fair play, sportsmanship, teamwork, and camaraderie in all of our Shrine athletes, coaches, and parents. While we encourage all of our students to join and participate in athletics, we also encourage our student athletes to participate in the many other opportunities that Shrine has to offer, like the fall play, spring musical, before school choirs, pep band. Shrine is a place where students can contribute to a wide number of groups. This handbook outlines the philosophy and reflects the policies of the Shrine Catholic High School Athletic Program. Just as those who create a document such as this are a work in progress, so is this Athletic Handbook. If you have questions or comments, please contact us Sincerely, Ben Kerfoot, Shrine Catholic High School Athletic Director
