Phoenix
Union High School District has a long tradition of excellence in
interscholastic athletics. We believe that athletic participation can
play a significant role in the District’s mission of preparing every
student for success in college, career and life. Athletics and
extracurricular activities develop the whole student, providing learning
opportunities and experiences beyond the classroom. These activities
often reveal and strengthen new skills, while improving grades,
attendance, motivation, graduation and post-secondary attendance.
Athletic competition demands discipline, leadership, teamwork and
responsibility while enhancing self-esteem and healthy habits that can
last a lifetime. It is Phoenix Union’s goal to encourage and support
maximum student participation with affordable athletics, quality coaches
and outstanding facilities.
