Message to All Parents and Student-Athletes,
BCPS Mission Statement for Athletes
The Baltimore County Public Schools support the philosophy that a quality interscholastic athletic program is vital to the positive social, physical, and educational development of students. The interscholastic athletic program enhances and supports the academic mission of the school system. We are committed to promoting the proper ideals of sportsmanship, ethical conduct, and fair play at all athletic contests. We support high standards of good citizenship and propriety, along with regard for the rights of others.
Being a member of the interscholastic program is a privilege to be earned and maintained throughout the season. Each time participants step into a school or onto the practice field and anytime they participate in a game they are expected to represent themselves, and their family, team and school in a responsible, sportsmanlike manner.
It is our responsibility to provide challenging opportunities for our student-athletes to compete successfully at the county, regional, and state levels.
Franklin High School
In addition to embracing and committing to the BCPS Philosophy, at Franklin High School, we will also encourage and promote:
- The belief that athletes should participate in multiple sports and not specialize in any one specific sport.
- The concept of the broadest-based participation possible by offering all of the teams in which we can, and extending the opportunity to participate to as many students as possible.
- The premise that all teams are considered vital for our student-athletes and each is a valued part of our athletic program. No one sport is considered more important than any other.
- The approach that all teams are treated as fairly as possible
Sincerely,
Richard Reed
Athletic Director
Franklin High School
