Mission Statement<\/h2>\n

The Mission of the DUSD Athletic Department is to provide a broad based program of sports offerings that are safe and equitable with an environment that promotes high academic standards, leadership, and athletic excellence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Philosophy of Athletics at Dixon Unified School District<\/h2>\n

At Dixon Unified School District, we consider athletics an integral part of the educational experience. Athletics provides opportunities that will help students develop physically, mentally, and emotionally. We view the competition of athletics as a healthy educational and physiological activity because it challenges each student to excel, to discover his or her physical limits, and to work cooperatively with team members. While winning is a natural goal in the pursuit of excellence, the principles of good sportsmanship and enjoyment of competition take precedence at all times and enhance the educational value of contests.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Dixon Unified School District Athletic Department Goals<\/h2>\n
