Athletics
Welcome to the PRIDE! If ever you have a question regarding activities or athletics, please don't hesitate to call or contact Mr. Mattingly, the Activities Director of Lansing USD469.
Lansing School District is asking that elementary, intermediate and middle school aged students attending this season’s high school home sporting events and activities have a parent or guardian present with them at the event. We also ask that students attending please be seated in the stands.
We want this to be a safe environment for all students, families and fans attending this year’s activities. Thank you for supporting Lansing High School sports and activities.
PHILOSOPHY
Interscholastic activities are an integral part of the total school educational program. Activities provide educational experiences not otherwise provided in the curriculum. Learning outcomes are developed in the areas of knowledge, skills, and emotional matters as well as the contribution to the development of better citizens.
A great tradition is not built overnight – it takes the hard work and dedication of many individuals over many years. As a member of an activity, the participant has certain responsibilities to uphold.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
We would like to think of student participants as being someone special in that certain responsibilities are imposed on him/her. Students involved in activities accept these responsibilities, broaden themselves, and develop strength of character. Students owe it to themselves to get the greatest possible good from their school experiences, their studies, and their participation in school activities. You owe it to yourself to always do whatever you do in life to the best and fullest of your ability.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE SCHOOL
By being a representative of Lansing High School in any activity, you have the responsibility to your school to always do your best and always follow the guidelines set forth. By being a role model, you are representing your school and your community. You automatically assume a leadership role when you are on an athletic squad or any extra- or co-curricular activity. The student body and citizens of the Lansing School Community know you. You are on the stage with the spotlight on you. The student body, the community, and other communities judge our school on your conduct and attitude, both on and off school grounds. Because of this leadership role, you can contribute to our school spirit and community image. Make your school proud of you and your community proud of your school by your performance and your devotion to high ideals. The younger students are watching you. They will imitate you in many ways. Do not let them down. Give them high ideals to copy.
