Athletic Program

The Athletic Program gives each boy and girl the chance to develop as a team player and as an individual, who recognizes an opening and seizes that opportunity. Learning to be your own person is very important. Especially in sports, a child learns to take responsibility. Eventually, some realize that being responsible gives them more control over a situation, which builds self-esteem.

Another lesson is understanding the importance of rules and regulations, and how important it is to do what is expected. It can be the difference between winning and losing a game or a life experience.

The sporting events bring the campus together with the spectators cheering on the Harbor Rams. During a game, that feeling of community is at its strongest. A highlight of each year is participating in the Home Olympics, a national competition for youngsters living in homes like the Harbor. Since the event is held in different states, the children have an opportunity to travel.
