The mission of the Westminster Public Schools interscholastic athletic program is to support the needs of the students of WPS by maintain a strong sense of pride, excellence, ethical values, character education and overall student development. Effective programming is executed through the balance of healthy competition, training, and academic excellence. Westminster Public Schools believes that the opportunity for participation in a wide variety of student selected athletics is a vital part of the student's educational experience. Such participation is a privilege that carries with it responsibilities to the school, to the activity, to the community and to the students themselves.  Athletic activities provide lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork and competition are an integral part of team activity.  Athletics activities promote a positive self-image, physical conditioning and contribute to school spirit and district pride.

The District considers all levels of sport except varsity as a developmental program. Varsity teams are competitive. In the non-varsity program, opportunity to participate in scheduled activities is expected for athletes who are members of a team.
