Wellington’s athletics program is more than a series of practices and games; it’s a cornerstone of our commitment to fostering well-rounded individuals. As students progress through high school, athletics offer them a dynamic way to develop qualities like leadership, resilience, teamwork, and discipline — all essential life skills that extend beyond sports.
More Than Just Competition
At Wellington, athletics focus on personal growth and teamwork. Students have the opportunity to develop essential skills, from time management to leadership, in both junior varsity and varsity sports.
