The athletic programs at Montezuma-Cortez High School supports the academic mission of the school by equipping and empowering all students to have the ability to experience activities and athletics that will help develop lifelong learning. These athletic programs are an extension of the academic philosophy of M-CHS by teaching the values of teamwork, respect, commitment, pride, work ethic, and sportsmanship while cultivating good health, emotional maturity, happiness and social aptitude in a competitive and wholesome environment. Both athletics and academics at M-CHS put our students first by working together for educational and athletic excellence.
