Thank you for your interest in the McKinzey Athletic Program. We are looking forward to meeting you! To be placed in the athletic class you must take care of several items by the posted deadlines. Please make sure you join the sportsyou found at the bottom of this page. This will be where the majority of the communication takes place before August.
Please note the dates for year-round swim and tennis tryouts posted below. These are the ONLY tryouts that occur before the start of the school year next year.
Participation:
Participation in the Athletic Program in MISD is a privilege not a right, and as such, the students will be held to a higher standard than that of the general population. Therefore, the rules and guidelines that are set in place by the McKinzey Coaches will be stricter than those delineated in the Student Code of Conduct and those of the school. We are excited to have you in our Athletic Program. Please understand that this is a serious commitment that will require your best every day.
