training the body fuels the mind
Because we understand training the body fuels the mind, we consider athletics an integral part of a complete education. We're committed to providing opportunities for as many students as possible to take part in quality sports activities, with the understanding that it is a privilege and a responsibility to compete as a team member for the school. While we reject the idea of winning at all costs, our athletics program provides the training and conditioning necessary to allow our athletes to compete at the highest levels. |
At present, we field varsity teams in 14 sports. In Middle School, we adhere to a no-cut policy to allow students to develop skill and confidence as they explore a variety of sports. By high school, our varsity Tigers are fierce competitors at the district and state level, with a number of them bringing home state titles each year and signing to play at the collegiate level after graduation. |
Athletic Facilities
Our athletic facilities feature the 12,000-square foot Dunham Athletic Center, equipped with weight and training rooms. Facilities also include the Dunham Football Stadium, the Trey & Will Clark Baseball indoor batting pavilion, the Laura Kelly Softball Field, a film room, and a strength and conditioning area.
Health & Wellness
Maintaining the health and safety of our student-athletes is a priority for us. Strength and conditioning training is an important aspect of our athletic program. In addition, thanks to a unique partnership with Ochsner Andrews Sports Medicine Institute, we have a certified athletic trainer on staff who works with students, coaches, and parents to proactively prevent injuries and provide assistance with treatment and rehabilitation plans if necessary.
All middle and upper school athletes must complete annual sports physicals prior to competing on a team. Upper School students who plan to participate in team sports must submit both the Upper School LHSAA Packet (first-time Upper School athletes only) and the Annual Dunham Athletics Medical Packet (must be submitted every year). Middle School students who plan to participate in team sports are only required to turn in the Annual Dunham Athletics Medical Packet.
