The mission of the Wood Middle School Athletic Department is to develop a program of competitive athletics that focuses on enhancing student performance. This program will be designed to be inclusive of all students who have the desire and ability to participate in UIL sports that promote individual and team development in grades 7 and 8. Uppermost in this process will be the pursuit of academic excellence by all student athletes, the development of good citizenship traits, an encouragement and appreciation for competitive athletics, the promotion of good sportsmanship and an awareness of the importance of physical activity set in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
