Athletics at Koraes

We believe athletics are an essential part of a well-rounded education. Through sports, our students develop sportsmanship, teamwork, discipline, leadership, and school spirit. Athletics give students a chance to grow both on and off the playing field—building character as well as technical skills.

Our athletic program offers opportunities in soccer, basketball, volleyball, and track & field. Each sport emphasizes fundamentals, sportsmanship, and teamwork while encouraging students to challenge themselves and take pride in representing their school.

More than just the results of a game, athletics at Koraes are about preparing students for life after sports—teaching responsibility, perseverance, and the importance of collaboration.

Competitive Programs

Athletics continues to grow each year, with teams demonstrating strong improvement, dedication, and enthusiasm. Under the direction of Coach Kolovos, the Eagles reached two milestones in Koraes History: competing in a competitive conference, and winning the soccer conference championship! Looking ahead, our goal is to expand athletic opportunities, strengthen skills across all sports, and continue building a culture rooted in sportsmanship, hard work, respect, and pride.
