About

Upon entering secondary school, students are exposed to many new opportunities and challenges. An important part of the educational experience at this level is the extra-curricular programs available to all students, in particular, the interscholastic athletic program. Nationwide, studies have shown that students involved in extra-curricular programs such as interscholastic sports, achieve better grades, manage their time more effectively, have less discipline problems and stay in school.

I am pleased with the growth of our modified programs in the Poughkeepsie City School District and would hope that our programs at the high school level continue to grow in the future.

Mission

Participation in athletics is a privilege and honor that provides an opportunity for developing life-long skills not always available in the academic classroom. Our goal is to provide a “first class” experience that promotes team and individual growth in a safe and healthy environment.
