I am raw potential, just waiting to be discovered, nourished, and shared. - ESD Manifesto
Mission and Philosophy
The philosophy of the Athletic Department follows the basic mission and founding tenets of the schools.
To educate students from a variety of backgrounds and aptitudes and to encourage students to discover their full potential spiritually, intellectually, and physically. It is out goal that through participation, with an emphasis on teamwork, unity, and commitment, we will prepare our students for a lifetime of service to others, which is the highest manifestation of God’s presence in our lives.
In order to enhance and support these basic principles, the athletic department will develop a program that will teach positive lessons of sportsmanship, respond for one’s opponent, respect for the rules, and the ability to win and lose with grace. We will instill perseverance, responsibility, integrity, commitment, leadership, and respect in our student-athletes. Each student-athlete will learn the importance of teamwork, team discipline, and the joy of competition.
