A Message from Athletic Director Stephen Vanidestine:
During
the school year over 900 students will participate in interscholastic
athletics. Over 250 students will participate in more than one sport.
The
philosophy of our athletic program will be to provide appropriate
athletic competition in as many sports as possible for both boys and
girls. Our program accurately embraces the philosophy that provides for
individual differences and the opportunity for each person to attain
their fullest potential.
All students who are academically eligible and consistently demonstrate good school citizenship will be allowed to try out for any sport; however, the welfare
of the individual and the team will be the criteria which determines
whether or not the student participates in that sport.
The
Athletic Department fully supports the goals of the Bangor School
Department and functions as an integral part of the total school
curriculum.
The
ultimate goal of the athletic program is to provide experiences that
contribute to the development of learning skills and emotional patterns
that enable the student to maximize the use of his/her education in our
modern society.
On
our web site you will find our rules and policies, candidate contract,
parental consent form and various forms related to physical exam,
insurance, etc. It is important that all forms are carefully read and
accurately completed and returned to the athletic office. Any question
regarding student medical records etc. must be directed to the athletic
office. A complete record of all forms is kept on file in the athletic
office for your convenience.
We
look forward to serving the community needs in athletics and if you
have any questions, please feel free to contact my office. I am
confident you will be pleased with the athletic program at Bangor High.
Sincerely,
Stephen T. Vanidestine
Director of Athletics
