Home of the Dragon!

In athletics, the goal for HKIS is to offer a first class program which includes a healthy pyramid of participation in physical education, intramurals and athletics.

Our competitive athletics play an integral part in our educations program. The challenges associated with competition create learning experiences for all athletes. A player's drive, determination, confidence, mental toughness, and emotional control is tested daily. The educational value of athletics lies in how the athlete copes with these challenges. Coaches stress commitment, dedication, and hard work and work closely with the players as they face these obstacles. Athletes are taught a formula that can be applied to real-life situations: They learn to plan, prepare, perform, evaluate and try, try again.

All students, including Seniors, compete equally for playing time. Pre-season practices and scrimmages provide an opportunity for players to demonstrate what they can do. Coaches select the best players and field their most competitive starting lineups. Coaches do try to balance what is good for the team and what is good for an individual athlete.

Good sportsmanship is a quality we all value. Our coaches do their very best to teach and develop sportsmanship while encouraging their players to treat opposing players, coaches and officials with respect. Competitive athletcs, by design, brings out the best and worst in people. We are committed to using the "teachable moments" in sports to help our students learn the most valuable lessons athletics has to offer.
