The philosophy of Pingry Athletics is to provide a competitive athletic environment while promoting and embodying the ideals of The Pingry Honor Code.  Recognizing the intrinsic value of developing the student-athlete, Pingry fosters a program maximizing student participation and upholding a high level of quality in the classroom as well as the athletics teams.  Pingry Athletics strives to instill positive character traits such as Responsibility, Integrity, and Self-Discipline within a framework of Sportsmanship and commitment to Teamwork.

The opportunity for participation in a wide variety of student-selected activities is a vital part of each student's educational experience. The Pingry Athletics program is designed to provide wholesome opportunities and experiences that will enable our students to develop physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. Participation in the athletics program teaches our students the importance of commitment, the satisfaction that comes from hard work, the lessons learned in victory and defeat, and the joy of competition.
