Athletic Department Philosophy
The Duchesne High School athletic department provides quality coaching and instruction throughout all levels of play. As an institution that strives to fully develop each student’s potential, Duchesne realizes the importance of fair play and honest, respectful competition. Athletics offer students the opportunity to build confidence and discipline, and our coaching staff works hard to ensure that all student athletes put forth their best effort every day. In accordance with our mission, students know that academics come first—and our student athletes are just as productive in classroom as they are on the field. Pioneer athletes learn important lessons in the areas of leadership, teamwork, sportsmanship and balance. Duchesne’s athletic program supports our students as they enrich their minds, strengthen their bodies and develop their spirituality through team prayer.
Duchesne High School is the home of the Pioneers. Duchesne is a founding member of the Gateway Athletic Conference and a Member of the Missouri High School Activities Association.
