PHILOSOPHY

The Comal I.S.D. Athletic Program promotes the physical, mental, moral and social well-

being of students. The athletic program is an integral part of the total educational

process.

In the business of education, students are our products. They will be only as good as we

make them. If we fail, then an entire generation will fail. Our job as professional

educators is to prepare the students so that they can become self-supporting members of

society.

programs, designed not only to teach athletic skills but to also instill good character

and teach sound values.
