With unusually high temperatures in the forecast this week, our administrative and athletic teams are closely monitoring heat levels to keep everyone safe. Student safety is always our top priority, so please bear with us as coaches and leadership teams make real-time decisions regarding practices and games. This may mean last-minute schedule changes, shortened sessions, or moving activities indoors. Please make sure your students pack extra water, stay hydrated, and keep an eye on your primary email and team communication channels for quick updates from our coaching teams!
This week's WORD OF THE WEEK seems pretty simple - excellence. However, we will dive into its root meaning from Latin, and its philosophical core in Greek (arete). "ex" - out from. "cellere" - rise high, tower. Excellence is active, not static.
Go Trojans!
