SHRSD Athletics Philosophy:
 

Interscholastic sports should not be considered an end in themselves; but rather, an integral part of the overall educational process which seeks to develop the alert, responsible well-informed and well adjusted citizen. The aim of athletics at South Hunterdon Regional High School is to develop wholesome attitudes toward the school program, teams, participants and officials, to develop the qualities of loyalty, unselfishness, responsibility, cooperation, citizenship, leadership and sportsmanship; to compete successfully in a sportsmanlike manner and to encourage the growth of the moral, healthy, self-disciplined student athletes.


SHRSD Athletic Policy:
 

  • South Hunterdon Regional High School District athletic activities are the direct responsibility of the Board of Education. This responsibility has been delegated to the Principal and through him/her to the staff. 
  • The Supervisor of Athletics is appointed by the Board of Education with the recommendation of the Superintendent. He/she is responsible for the administration of the entire athletic program.
  • The coaching staff is appointed by the Board of Education upon the recommendation of the Superintendent and Supervisor of Athletics. They are responsible for carrying out the athletic program.
  • The Interscholastic Program of the South Hunterdon Regional High School District is based upon the premise that athletics are an integral part of the educational process of the total school program. The program shall be administered in accordance with the constitution and bylaws of the N.J.S.I.A.A. and the Skyland Conference and the Hunterdon/Warren Athletic Association.
