Philosophy

Sacred Heart Greenwich's interscholastic athletic and active wellness programs support the overall mission of the School to educate women to have independence of judgment, personal freedom, and strength of character so that they can become leaders with broad intellectual and spiritual horizons. 

Participation in the interscholastic athletics program is voluntary and open to students in Grades 5-12 in a variety of sports. Students who sign-up for a team and choose to play are expected to attend all practices and games, unless they are absent from school due to illness.

Active Wellness Requirement for Grades 9-11:
As part of our ongoing commitment to the holistic development of our students, students in Grades 9, 10 and 11 will be required to complete an active wellness component as part of their graduation requirement.
