The school also offers students an impressive list of interscholastic sports. They are baseball, softball, volleyball, football, cheerleading, esports, and men and women’s soccer, basketball, cross country and track and field. Athletic scholarships ranging from $500 to $18,000 are available.
School alumni include Otis Nixon, who played for several Major League Baseball teams during his professional career (1983-99), most notably the Atlanta Braves, Montreal Expos and Cleveland Indians. Nixon had held the Braves’ single-season record for stolen bases (72, set in 1991) until Ronald Acuna Jr. bettered it by one in 2023.
