Athletic Department Philosophy
It is the District’s objective to develop athletes who exhibit good citizenship, sportsmanship and scholarship.
The purpose of athletics in the Hampton Township School District program is to provide the maximum degree of student-athlete participation. The District strives to provide the student-athlete with the proper facilities, equipment and qualified coaches in all sports.
The Interscholastic Athletic Program is authorized by and funded through the Hampton Township Board of School Directors. The task of organizing and operating the program is delegated through the Superintendent, the High School Principal, the Athletics Director, and other designated staff members.
