BRANFORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS ATHLETICS
ATHLETICS
Program Mission Statement
The BPS Athletic Department will provide education-based athletic programs that offer mentorship and inspire student athletes to give their best effort and support them in their journey from learners to leaders. Students will engage in these opportunities while understanding that participation in these programs will always be contingent upon their academic standing and success.
A total of 775 students participated in interscholastic athletics during the current school year (537 at BHS, 238 at WIS). Over twenty students achieved all-Southern CT Conference honors, ten students received all-state recognition during the fall and winter seasons and one student achieved all-New England honors. Among the students participating in athletics, 75 served as team captains and attended leadership training through the SCC Captains Council program. The WIS and BHS dance teams successfully competed at the national level in Orlando, FL. The BHS dance team earned a state championship in both jazz and hip-hop. Twelve teams qualified for post-season play in the fall/winter seasons.
BHS Athletics led the school in three seasonal pep rallies (fall, winter, spring) that were attended by the entire school community.
Two student athletes and their families were featured on CIAC-produced videos highlighting unique stories about students.
BHS Athletics sponsored a student-led food drive in November that provided a large amount of donated food to the Branford community.
Six student athletes in the class of 2024 signed National Letters of Intent to compete at the Division 1 or 2 level in college.
