Athletics at WMAES

At WMAES, athletics are about more than competition—they’re about teamwork, character, and growth. Our sports programs give students the chance to challenge themselves, stay active, and build confidence in a supportive, community-focused environment. Whether on the field, court, or track, WMAES athletes learn the value of dedication, sportsmanship, and striving for their personal best.
