Athletics

Boise School District Athletics

  • The Boise School District provides a clear vision for student athlete development of efficacy (beliefs), agency (ownership), and teamwork through participation in sport. We are dedicated to engaging and growing our student athletes in the areas of character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking.

    Our student athletes will achieve success academically and athletically throughout their experience in the Boise School District because of our focus on effective systems, fostering positive relationships, sportsmanship, culture, and growing the whole student athlete.

    The Boise School District commits to being competitive at the highest level through participation, player development, providing first class facilities, hiring high-quality coaches, and the engagement of our parents/patrons.

The Boise School District has always been highly regarded for academic achievements. At the same time, we have always been considered a leader throughout Idaho and the Pacific Northwest in the area of athletics. Many of our programs have become models for other districts.

We do not measure our success through wins and losses - we strive instead to offer an enjoyable experience to our young people. These opportunities provide educational experiences to our student athletes in an equal opportunity environment.

Elementary Programs

  • 5th and 6th grade boys and girls are offered basketball and track.
  • Over 2,300 students took part in these elementary programs last year.
  • Very few school districts offer elementary activity programs and we feel these programs are an important part of our overall educational program.

  • Winter activities include wrestling and boys and girls basketball.
