Athletics at Burris Laboratory School are grounded in the belief that students are students first and athletes second. Participation in sports is an extension of the school day and reflects the same expectations for character, responsibility, and commitment that guide learning in the classroom.
Student-athletes are expected to demonstrate positive citizenship across the school community by attending classes regularly, meeting academic expectations, following school guidelines, and contributing to a respectful learning environment. Participation in athletics is a privilege that is earned and sustained through consistent effort, accountability, and good decision-making.
Through this shared commitment, Burris athletics support the development of character, integrity, and teamwork while helping students grow as learners, leaders, and members of a community.
