“I’ve never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity.” Lou Holtz  

We believe interscholastic athletics is an integral part of the total educational experience.  In keeping with Mission Pacific High School’s (MPHS) vision to become an exceptional educational institution that integrates this education with extracurricular opportunities.  The MPHS Athletic Department will provide the students with an unparalleled program that provides extracurricular activities dedicated to developing leadership skills, character, commitment, responsibility, sportsmanship and teaching the student/athletes how to pursue victory with honor.

This growth is more than competition between two teams of individuals representing different schools; it involves the educational interaction between the coach, the athlete and the team, the interaction between teammates, learning to lose and win with character and integrity and respect for opponents and officials.  In summary the life lessons available through athletics are numerous, frequent and extremely valuable.  

The MPHS Athletic Department will endeavor to maximize these opportunities.

*   The athletic department is committed to the development of the entire athlete.  Wins, championships and banners are temporal, but the memories, the lessons learned and the growth that is facilitated through athletics are life changing.  We are committed to helping our athletes achieve all of these through the experiences gained in MPHS athletics.

*   A great aspect of Mission Pacific High School Athletics is that it will provide numerous opportunities for our scholar/athletes to participate at the secondary interscholastic level.  We will be fortunate to have athletes in our programs that have skills and abilities to may allow them to participate in athletics at the collegiate level.  The MPHS athletic programs will constantly endeavor to provide the highest caliber athletic opportunity to assist in the development of these and all of our skilled athletes.
