Athletics
Athletics at Valor are more than just games; they're a cornerstone of our educational experience. Our athletic programs offer a dynamic platform for students to embrace the joys of sports and fitness, forge enduring bonds through teamwork, and cultivate essential virtues like courage, leadership, and humility—all as reflections of God's image.
Our athletic vision will remain in alignment with our academic model. We will continue to know the true, do the good, love the beautiful, and courageously influence the culture around us for the glory of God.
