Athletic & Special Activities Insurance

Participation Fee

New in 2024-2025! The district no longer requires a participation fee for student athletes to participate in sports!!

Sportsmanship

Sportsmanship is an important aspect of the LWHS athletic program. Student-athletes are expected to display good conduct during practices, games, and in the classroom. We expect our students to give their best at all times.

Sportsmanship is also displayed by the fans, families, and spectators at events. Those individuals participating in these roles also bear a responsibility to show good sportsmanship to the referees and the opposing team's players, coaches, and fans.
