Students in the grades of 6th, 7th and 8th are eligible to participate in the HRCS sports program.

The goal of our sports program is to encourage participation in sports by our student’s athletes. Our volunteer coaches work to develop and/or increase the student’s skill level so that those who choose to do so are prepared to enter a sports program at the next level. We also teach the responsibilities of competition, cooperation and sportsmanship throughout all of our sports programs.
