Cascia Hall Athletics
The mission of the athletic department, regardless of the level, is the development of perseverance,
sportsmanship, endurance, strength, coordination, self-confidence, and teamwork, as well as
creating a winning attitude and an appreciation of recreational habits that will last a lifetime.
The athletic program at Cascia Hall is an integral part of the school's total education program, and
as such shares in the Augustinian values proclaimed in the school's philosophy.
Essential to these Augustinian values is a proper understanding of the motto gracing the school's
seal: Truth, Unity, and Charity.
Truth in athletics in particular calls for honesty with oneself and others on and off the playing
field. Even in competition, our athletes should be very much aware of their dignity as children of
God.
Unity lends itself to the formation of community, where teamwork is emphasized and yet the
needs of the individual are properly respected within the parameters of that community.
Charity, or Love, is the foundation for all our planning and activity. It leads to a greater self-respect
and tolerance for others and teaches us to look beyond present circumstances to a deeper
understanding of the presence of God in all we do. Truth and Unity are nurtured and enhanced by
a strong bond of caring fellowship among our athletes.
The school's goal is the development of the student athlete's physical, spiritual, psychological, and
social well being based on the fundamental values of St. Augustine. The athletic program at Cascia
Hall also strives to instill the desire and discipline to compete, along with organizational skills needed
to maintain academic success as well as athletic involvement.
The level of participation of each student is arranged according to the student's appropriate grade
and ability. The high school varsity program emphasizes successful competition based on a solid
foundation of commitment. The purpose of the sub-varsity and middle school programs is to
teach commitment and develop other skills of the individual athlete.
Cascia Hall has a strong commitment to the health, safety, and welfare of its students.
It is Cascia Hall's belief that drug and alcohol abuse endangers the safety and well-being of its
student body. Cascia Hall's commitment to maintaining a safe and secure learning
environment requires a clear policy relating to the prevention, detection, and treatment of
substance abuse.
