Fenwick High School has a long tradition of excellence on the playing field, on the court, and in the pool.
It is our mission to add to the successes and traditions of the past. In doing so, Fenwick athletics is student-centered, inclusive and filled with life lessons and skills that help our kids succeed in college and beyond.
Everything we do in athletics should reinforce what our kids are learning from their parents and teachers. As a result, our student-athletes will understand the importance of teamwork, responsibility, work ethic and respect while enjoying some of the most memorable years of their life.
Go Friars!
