Athletics

The Hartfield Athletic Department is recognized for developing student-athletes to reach their full potential while building Christian character in the lives of our students in a Christ-centered environment. We are blessed with an outstanding coaching staff that can serve as mentors to help each student-athlete in opportunities of leadership, perseverance through adversity, skill development, and mental and physical discipline. More importantly, our staff is charged with pointing each student toward a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ as they strive for excellence in the athletic arena. It is indeed a pleasure to work with our athletic staff as we provide mission-centered opportunities for our students.
