Athletics & Physical Education Department

Athletic Activities

The Boise School District has always been highly regarded for academic achievements. At the same time, we have always been considered a leader throughout Idaho and the Pacific Northwest in the area of athletics. Many of our programs have become models for other districts.

We do not measure our success through wins and losses - we strive instead to offer an enjoyable experience to our young people. These opportunities provide educational experiences to our student athletes in an equal opportunity environment.

Elementary Programs

• 5th and 6th grade boys and girls are offered basketball and track.
• Over 2,300 students took part in these elementary programs last year.
• Very few school districts offer elementary activity programs and we feel these programs are an important part of our overall educational program.
