Character in competition

The same standard as the classroom.

Athletics at NECA is treated as part of a student's formation, not a separate world with separate rules. Perseverance after a loss, respect for officials and opponents, integrity in practice when no one is keeping score: that is the point of a Crusaders season, and coaches are expected to teach it.

Perseverance
Hard work continues after the first attempt. Students learn to stay with a subject until it is understood.
Respect
Teachers, classmates, families, and the campus itself are treated with courtesy, in and out of class.
Integrity
Honest work and honest words, including when no adult is watching and nothing is being graded.
Determination
Goals are set, kept in view, and pursued through the ordinary weeks of a school year.
Excellence
Careful effort offered as service, not as competition with the student sitting nearby.
