Goal and Purpose (of Silver Creek Athletics) While the GOAL is to win, the PURPOSE is the education of the entire student – to teach students to become men and women of INTEGRITY and EMPATHY , who will LEAD , be RESPONSIBLE , and will CHANGE THE WORLD for good.

State of the Athletic Program Multiple Conference and Regional Champions Multiple “Sweet 16”, “Elite 8”, and “Final 4” appearances Multiple individual state championships + a team state championship Multiple coaches received conference “Coach of the Year” honors 20+ students continuing their athletic careers in college 7 teams were recognized as Academic All-State Award Winners with 4 of those teams having the highest GPA in their class/state The expectation is that our student-athletes exhibit exemplary behavior and performance on the playing field, in the classroom, and in the community.
State of the Academic Program Over 1400 students in the building 9,000 sq. ft. addition 14,000 sq. ft. of renovated classroom space – bringing our Science learning spaces into the 21 st century 45 Capstone Projects impacting community (SCLA) Attendance rates over 93% on a daily basis Annually, above 80% of our students pursue a post-secondary education Increase in levels of inclusiveness at SC due to intentional programming and interventions (Sources of Strength, Rachel’s Challenge, cultural celebrations, and partnerships with over 50 not-for-profit orgs
Why are both arenas important? It is our job as coaches/educators to create and nurture well-rounded students who will be positive members of society once they leave school. High School Athletics combined w/ strong academic programming (which we have at Silver Creek) provide the following: 1. A place of BELONGING for every student. 2. Opportunities to show COURAGE. 3. Experiences that lead to FAILURE. 4. CONFIDENCE that results from trying. 5. GROWTH of the student’s inner life. * Participation in interscholastic athletic programs will provide students with the skills necessary TO BE PREPARED FOR LIFE.
Both arenas (continued)… Our athletes are STUDENT-ATHLETES first. They learn and model CONFIDENCE, GROWTH, TEAMWORK, and TIME MANAGEMENT skills in and out of the classroom. They have better ATTENDANCE and higher GPAs. They serve as AMBASSADORS for our school in the community based primarily on impressions from athletic contests, where they perform with SPORTSMANSHIP, EXCELLENCE, and GRACE.

Parent Expectations Support team/program win or lose Support your child no matter if they played or not. Tell your child you love to see them COMPETE. Conduct yourself as a role-model for your child and our athletes.
Communication Matters of student/spectator safety -> let us know immediately. It is okay to communicate with coach if something is bothering the player. I have appreciated the many conversations I had with parents last year. I, still, would love to meet and chat with each of you at sporting events. If you have concerns, complaints, etc., please follow this approach: Player approaches coach. Player/Parent approach coach. If no closure… Call (720) 494-3721 or email (schuyler_kyle@svvsd.org) during school hours to set up an appointment. Twitter Account: @SCRaptorsAD Website: schs-raptors.com
