Philosophy and Mission

The Student Activities Office encourages a positive and enthusiastic environment where coaches can
provide opportunities for student athletes to excel through the teaching of life-long lessons in leadership,
teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship and competitiveness.


Collaboratively, the activities office, teachers and coaching staff strive to encourage our student athletes
to develop and implement positive life-long characteristics on and off the playing field. We value the “Wakefield
Way” where we challenge our students to excel in “Rigor, Relationships, Resilience, Responsibility, and
Results. “

The Wakefield student athlete will use these five pillars to succeed in high school. Our coaches and
teammates will foster a community on the field, courts and arenas to develop positive experiences in Wakefield
athletics; allowing students to gain experiences from the diverse community and passionate experiences; all while
learning from their athletic failures, sporting wins and modeling good citizenship and forming trusting relationships
with coaches and teammates.

We achieve excellence by forming the enviable term of “We Are Wakefield” Loud and Proud
