Stayton High School Would like to welcome you into the Co-Curricular programs at SHS. Stayton High School has a long standing tradition of athletic excellence and high levels of student participation. We are confident that will continue in the future, and are pleased that you have chosen to be part of it. 

At Stayton High School, our goal is to prepare our students for success as adults, and we firmly believe that our athletic programs are an important part of our overall program. These programs offer students, parents, faculty, alumni and community members the opportunity to be a part of the school community.

We believe strongly in our co-curricular programs as a place where our young people develop the qualities of teamwork, communication, commitment, selflessness, the pursuit of excellence, and leadership. We also believe that a sport is the greatest teacher of one of life's hardest, yet most important lessons: overcoming adversity. Sport's greatest power is that these lessons are communicated through kids' games. In the high school arena of competitive sports, we have a situation that challenges our students to pursue excellence and meet high expectations. This is a powerful learning environment for our students,  yet it creates challenges for coaches and student-athletes' families as well.

We ask all of our students and parents to remember that sports are a slice of life. This means that sports, like life, have equal portions of hard work to go along with the fun. They have equal portions of adversity to go along with the successes. It is not easy to engage in a sport; it is challenging and sometimes difficult. As your child faces these challenges, we urge you to assist your child in working through their adversity in productive ways.

Thank you, and as always "It's Great to be an EAGLE!"

Michael Proctor

Asst. Principal/Athletic Director
