Athletic Directors
Welcome
On behalf of the Athletic Department of the Pascagoula - Gautier School District, we welcome you. We are very proud of our programs and are excited your child has chosen to participate.
Athletics is one of the most important elements in the overall education of our students. Sports provide an opportunity to extend the learning process onto the fields and courts thru interscholastic competition, assisting the educational process by instilling and developing skills necessary for future success. These skills include leadership, communication, goal setting, organization, work ethics, self-discipline, perseverance, cooperation, loyalty, and honesty. Please feel free to contact the Athletic Department at 938-6568.
