Athletics Philosophy
Sequoyah School considers participation in athletics to be an integral part of the overall educational experience. Athletics provides opportunities for physical, mental, emotional, and social development. Competition through athletics is a valuable experience; our athletics program will challenge each student-athlete to strive for excellence, discover their physical abilities, and work cooperatively as a member of a team. Winning will be a natural goal in the pursuit of excellence, driven by foundational principles of good sportsmanship and enjoyment of competition to enhance the educational value of each and every contest.
Participation in athletics is a privilege offered to our students, one that comes with their willingness to accept the responsibilities associated with being part of our programs.
Awards and Championships
Sequoyah Athletics had an amazing 2025-26 season, with championships in four high school sports!
- All-gender soccer
- Boys’ basketball
- Girl’s cross country
- Track and field
The Gryphons also had their first-ever appearance at a California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) event.
Sports on the K-8 campus are also highly competitive: girls’ basketball won their fifth league championship, and all-gender flag football and boys’ volleyball were league finalists in competition.
“Athletics are about so much more than the final score,” says Director of Athletics Brian Knigin. “Over the past season, our students have shown early morning commitment, late-night perseverance, and the ability to push through challenges both on and off the field. They’ve learned discipline, resilience, and what it truly means to support one another as teammates. We are incredibly proud of you—not just for what you’ve achieved, but for how you’ve achieved it.”
