The Apache Athletics program has a proud tradition of excellence that reaches back to its inception. The young athletes are formed to be competitors who perform to the best of their individual ability on the field, on the court, on the track, in the classroom, and in life. Our coaching staff is faith-filled and strives to develop growth in our student athletes’ minds, bodies and spiritual lives.
