At Saint Michael, we believe the body is a sacred "temple of the Holy Spirit", and that physical fitness and athletics build foundational habits like discipline, diligence, sacrifice, focus, and courage that translate into spiritual strength. We thus count both as a core part of our curriculum and have physical education as a mandatory class year-round, directed by our Athletic Director, Coach Eddie Cerdeiras ("Coach"). Our physical education is split into a Girls and Boys class, which our students have reported loving and feeling most comfortable with.
Saint Michael is a member of the Charlotte Gastonia Athletics Association (CGAA), and we have a wide range of competitive sports teams (basketball, cross country, flag football, soccer, track and field, and volleyball) for students in Years 5-8. A strong emphasis in our competitive sports is placed on Christian values and sportsmanship, and true competition is defined as striving together, encouraging humility and graciousness in both victory and defeat. Athletics at Saint Michael are therefore designed to be an exciting and fun opportunity for students to develop new skills, improve existing talents, make new friends, show school spirit, and promote physical health. As of last year, approximately 95% of our eligible students in years 5-8 participated in at least one interscholastic sport.
