Athletics
Play Hard, Teamwork, Build Community & Fun
At Metro Nashville Public Schools, Athletics is more than just a game - it's a powerful journey of growth, grit and greatness!
Our athletic programs are designed to ignite passion, build resilience, and shape character. Through sports, student-athletes push their limits—not only physically, but mentally, morally, and socially—developing the strength and spirit to thrive on and off the field.
Athletics is a vital part of our educational experience, helping students become well-rounded individuals and inspiring them to lead with integrity, teamwork, and pride in their community. At MNPS, we don’t just play—we grow, we lead, and we rise together!
