Athletics at SES

We build rapport with our student-athletes creating an atmosphere for success, and teaching the proper values, skills and strategies. A love of activity starts with the Physical Education program, which begins in our Little Pirates (PreK-3) programs. Students then progress to middle school team sports and eventually varsity-level competition in the Upper School. Saint Edward’s School fields 36 teams in 18 sports and enjoys an enviable record of success. Athletes with a range of abilities at all levels find opportunities to advance their skills and compete to their full potential.

The Saint Edward's School Athletic Hall of Fame gives us the opportunity to recognize the accomplishments and contributions of our many outstanding student-athlete graduates. Athletics are an integral part of the Saint Edward's School culture and many of our outstanding athletes have gone on to distinguished university careers in their chosen sports. Thank you for taking the time to nominate an alumnus. Go Pirates!
