Marian High School’s athletic program has been developed to provide opportunities for students who desire competitive interscholastic athletics. The purpose of the athletic program is to complement our religious and academic mission in developing a balanced Christian woman.
Marian's athletic program consists of nine Class A state-sanctioned sports: volleyball, cross country, softball, golf, basketball, soccer, track, tennis and swimming and diving. Within all nine sports we have a total of 24 teams.
A student who becomes involved in athletics is well prepared to make a positive contribution to her community. Her involvement helps her to recognize and accept her own strengths and weaknesses as well as those of others. Through cooperation and teamwork, an athlete learns that weakness is compensated by strength, and that success is sometimes achieved only after experience with failure. For this reason, Marian High School athletics complement the redemptive reality of the Marian High School religious mission.
