Athletics
At Hillbrook, athletics is an essential part of a balanced education.
At Hillbrook, we believe that athletics fosters a lifetime of healthy habits, well-being, and the values of teamwork and sportsmanship. We have also found that participation in athletics reinforces our core values—be kind, be curious, take risks, be your best—in a very hands-on way. Hillbrook makes athletics an integral part of students' daily lives starting from their first year on campus. Our priorities for preparing students for competition include skill development, teamwork, participation, good sportsmanship, and pride in personal and team accomplishments. We believe a well-rounded and robust athletic program ensures each of our students' has the opportunities to learn and thrive in multiple concentrations of athletics while continuing to establish life-long skills and relationships through collaboration and teamwork.

We are committed to developing a competitive high school athletic program with a full range of offerings. Our program will place a high priority on commitment, dedication, and participation, as well as an emphasis on competing at the highest levels; we expect a number of our graduates to eventually head off to play at the collegiate level. Our athletic program will offer serious athletes an opportunity to grow and develop, while also creating a space for all students to participate and develop lifelong habits of health and wellness.
