Black Hawks Athletics

 
A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE
Collegiate Athletes, WPIAL Champions, PIAA Champions and More
 
Bethel Park has enjoyed a tremendous amount of athletic success over the years.
 

At Bethel Park, we believe a dynamic athletic program is essential for student-athletes' educational development. Designed to enhance students' interests and talents, our program teaches life lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, and competitive drive. Athletes learn to win with humility and lose with grace.

Goals of the Athletic Program:

  • Foster work ethic and perseverance in young athletes.
  • Develop positive citizenship traits.


Founded more than a century ago, our athletic program has grown significantly and is now integral to Bethel Park's tradition. While we compete to win, our primary focus is on high academic standards and meeting PIAA eligibility requirements.


We celebrate student-athletes' success but reject "winning at any cost" and pressures that compromise sportsmanship and mental health. Our program, seen as a scholastic activity, emphasizes character-building traits such as self-sacrifice, honesty, loyalty, hard work, dedication, reliability, and responsibility.

Bethel Park firmly believes that these attributes, learned through athletic participation, prepare students for lifelong success, as evidenced by the achievements of our alumni.
