The Northeastern
Clinton Central School District Board of Education is
committed to providing the best possible educational
experience for our students with the primary focus on
academic preparation. The participation of our students in
extracurricular activities, such as Interscholastic
Athletics is a very important component to the academic
program, providing a well-rounded educational experience. A
successful and effective interscholastic athletic program
requires commitment from the Board of Education, the
Administration, the Teaching and Coaching Staff, the
Students Participation and parental support and cooperation.
In many cases, this student participation provides a focus
for the student's energy, which otherwise could lead the
child in a much less favorable direction. Participation in
interscholastic athletics usually enhances the academic
progress of the student. In most interscholastic athletic
contests, all members of a team have an opportunity to
participate. At levels below varsity, the emphasis should be
placed on developing skills and playing for enjoyment. At
the varsity level, winning becomes more important and the
more talented athletes are expected to play more.
