Preuss Athletics
Our student-athletes have had a proud tradition of success in winning league titles and representing the team, the school, and the community with a high level of integrity and sportsmanship. The vision of the The Preuss School is to provide a pathway to college for low-income, first-generation students. Athletics is another tool for students to test themselves in competition and develop in the areas of leadership, commitment, work ethic, and perseverance. These skills can be applied directly to academic success at the high school level and continue through the college experience.
The Preuss School participates in two athletic conferences. In the sports of cross country, volleyball, basketball, and soccer we compete in the Frontier Conference. In the sport of lacrosse we compete in the City Conference. We also field a cheer team that enthusiastically supports all our student-athletes. All sports in San Diego county are governed by the San Diego Section of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). Information on high school sports, including sports-season calendars, can be accessed at the CIF Webpage.
