PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT - ACTIVITIES/ATHLETICS
Extracurricular programs are an integral part of the educational experience and play an important role in the growth and development of young men and women. York High School offers a variety of extracurricular opportunities which enhance the social, emotional, physical, and intellectual experience of all students.
Extracurricular programs at York will:
- Demand excellence from students and staff.
- Instill self-discipline, respect, responsibility, and a positive work ethic.
- Promote healthy living, good sportsmanship, teamwork, and leadership.
- Foster school spirit, parent and community involvement, and an appreciation of service to others.
- Develop, in IHSA extracurricular programs, the attitude and foundational skills necessary to be competitive at the lower levels and highly successful at the varsity level.
As a member of a York team or activity the student represents the school at competitions, in the classroom, and in the community. Students are expected to follow the policies set forth in the York Agenda Planner in order to participate in athletics or activities, including but not limited to: Bass Fishing, Chess Team, DECA, Drama, FCCLA, Individual Events, Law Team, Math Team, Scholastic Bowl, Science Olympiad, Student Council, SkillsUSA/VICA, Urban Arts and Young Politicians.
