Purpose
The purpose of the athletic department at Goldsboro High School is to provide and promote a strong interscholastic athletic program. This program is intended to be an integral part of the school’s overall educational experience. It aims to offer opportunities that foster positive relationships and goodwill, promote self-realization, encourage well-rounded personal growth, and develop good citizenship, all while serving the school community.

Objectives
The athletic program seeks to instill in each student-athlete:

  • The self-discipline necessary to successfully participate in athletics

  • An understanding that their actions impact not only themselves, but also their teammates, coaches, school, community, and family

  • The recognition that winning is a collective team effort

  • An appreciation of the commitment made by coaches and administrators to ensure fairness and equality in the enforcement of training standards
