“We’re proud to showcase our students who are succeeding both academically and athletically,” MPS Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver said. “Students need to have access to strong athletics in addition to strong academics for a well-rounded high school experience.”
MPS is strengthening athletic opportunities through rebuilding the legendary South Stadium on the near south side and renovating Custer Stadium on the north side. The two stadiums serve as home field for many MPS high schools, including Bay View High School, Lynde and Harry Bradley Technology and Trade School, Rufus King International High School, James Madison Academic Campus, Barack Obama School of Career and Technical Education, Riverside University High School, South Division High School, Harold S. Vincent High School and Washington High School of Information Technology.
