Athletics

At Queen Creek Unified School District (QCUSD), we believe participation in school athletics is an important phase of the overall educational process. Athletics is an integral component of the total educational program, providing learning experiences that contribute to a student’s physical, mental, social, and emotional growth. School athletics provide students with meaningful opportunities to learn important values such as accountability, self-discipline, leadership, citizenship, perseverance, responsibility, and teamwork through the realization of personal and team goals. QCUSD is a member of the Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) and each of our secondary schools abide by AIA bylaws.
