Tiger Pride has overwhelmed Cape Central High School. The building of the new campus has made the determination and dedication to sports even greater as the students usher in a continued tradition of a will to win.
The athletes of CHS strive to go above and beyond what is expected of them mostly due to the positive encouragement from the various coaching staffs, fellow students, Tiger fans, and the faculty, staff, and administration of CHS. This dedication is best seen in the preparation that student athletes make toward the ongoing effort of pushing themselves to be better and better.
Preseason and postseason activities such as independent and team training, summer camps, weightlifting/ strength training and open gym sessions are just a few ways athletes make sure they are ahead of the competition.
High athletic expectations and academic achievement walk hand in hand at Central High School. Even though the dedication to sports is very high, success in the classroom is also a high priority.
