Gig Harbor High School believes that interscholastic sports and activities promote sportsmanship and citizenship.

The athletic/activity programs instill pride in school, community, teach lessons for life, self discipline, and develops students physically and emotionally.

Activities/athletics are an extension of a solid educational program. Research shows that students who participate in activities/athletics tend to maintain higher grade point averages, better attendance, and fewer discipline problems.

Participation in the Gig Harbor High School activity/athletic program is a valuable part of a student’s high school career.
