Interscholastic athletics is historically a significant part of the total educational program. They offer the opportunity for students to be a part of a team, to serve their school, to enjoy fellowship, and to develop intellectually, physically, and emotionally.
We believe that LaPorte High School athletics provides a unifying influence within our student body and between our school and community. The athletic staff will endeavor to provide each participant with positive experience that will help them develop their own philosophy toward commitment, responsibility, and loyalty which will guide them for post-school competition in society. We believe that the will to win is a natural human trait and entirely desirable, but this urge, whether individual or collective, is not to be attained at the price of unfair advantage or gained through violation of established rules and principles. The desire to win is important, but will never outweigh the welfare of the athlete and will be kept in perspective towards the balance of what is good for the team and the individual player. The most significant aspect of athletic achievement is quality effort itself, being a winner is not always recorded on the scoreboard or won-loss records.
Being an athlete at LaPorte High School is a privilege, we therefore have the right to expect higher standards of behavior from our athletes than we do the general student body. We expect positive leadership at all times, as well as high levels of achievement academically and athletically. LaPorte High School will strive to offer the best personnel and facilities possible. Its coaching leadership will aspire to provide a positive example for the athletes by following ethical standards and presenting a professional attitude in all endeavors. They, along with parents and teachers, will help to instill a sense of pride in our school through supporting individual athletes, teams, and the Athletic Department and its policies. LaPorte High School athletics purpose is not to develop college or professional players or to prepare gifted athletes for Olympic Competition. Those areas, however, are by-products of the interscholastic athletic program. LaPorte Slicer athletes and spectators can be proud of a program that is helping our athletes become the best that they can be in many aspects.
