SMCS ATHLETIC HANDBOOK    

At St. Matthew Catholic School, we love cheering on our Cardinals! Athletics is not only a way for our students to excel in the lessons of teamwork and integrity, but it also provides an opportunity for the entire St. Matthew community to join together as we support our student athletes in the development of Christian character through their participation in sports.

 St. Matthew is well known for its sensational athletics program. Our teams consistently reach the championship play-offs and emerge victorious. While everyone recognizes that team sports are a healthy way for children to compete and expend energy by working together toward a common goal, the students at St. Matthew are further inspired by our Catholic values to demonstrate impeccable sportsmanship.
 Our athletics programs encourage our kids to think strategically, win with humility, and lose with grace. Our teams are most successful not just because they win the games, but because they are triumphant in Spirit!
