Play with Purpose: Athletics at Tuscarawas County Catholic Schools

As a parent, you want more than just an education for your children. You want school to equip them with the tools, confidence, and wisdom to build a fulfilling and purposeful life.

You want your child to graduate and thrive—at home, in the workplace, and in their community.

If we picture life as a long and exciting journey, you want your child’s education to provide a reliable compass, a sturdy map, and the skills to navigate every twist and turn along the way.

Even more than that, though, you want your children to reach the end of life’s journey in the spirit of these words from Paul the Apostle: “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith. From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just judge, will award to me on that day” (2 Timothy 4:7-8, NABRE).

That’s where a Catholic education makes all the difference.

While the classroom shapes students intellectually and spiritually, athletics programs at Catholic schools help students develop in other important ways. As kids compete, they become more physically fit and learn how to lead, explore their potential, strategize, and function as a member of a team, too!

That said, if you want your children to excel academically, flourish in the faith, and compete in the sports that excite them most, consider transferring them to Tuscarawas County Catholic Schools. 

Our programs are smaller than those offered by public schools, so if your children have been benched at a bigger school, they will feel like they have more of a part to play when they join our teams. Really.

We want your children to feel valued, whether they’re in the classroom, in a club, or pursuing their passions outside of school. Because they do matter. They are made in God’s image, and we want to help them recognize and celebrate that truth as they learn and grow.

When our students come together, they do so as the Saints. That’s our name and our calling as followers of Jesus.

At our schools, we offer a variety of sports, activities, and programs so students can explore their interests, build friendships, and develop their talents. We want our students to have options and to feel supported in their pursuits.

While all of this may sound appealing, we know you may be thinking, “But isn’t a private Catholic education expensive? I don’t think we can pay for that.”

Fear not. Thanks to Ohio’s EdChoice Scholarship, every family—including yours—can afford a private Catholic education. All you need to do is apply.
