Vision/Mission

Githens Middle School Athletic Department is committed to excellence which we recognize begins in the classroom. Through the athletic platform, we strive to promote academic excellence, positive character traits and leadership. In collaboration with our faculty, parents, Athletic Booster Club (ABC) and Athletic Advisory Committee (AAC), the Githens Middle School Athletic Department looks forward to continue to mold our student-athletes into leaders of tomorrow. We emphasize our goal of academic excellence through structured academic enrichment sessions, weekly progress reports and building personal relationship beyond the classroom walls.

We welcome all positive support to help take our program to new heights.
