Athletic Department
For many students, sports are a way to gain skills and confidence, a place to set personal goals and to learn to work as a team. Our athletic program at Padua helps students grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. Our programs stress sportsmanship, integrity, and ethics and are designed to develop responsibility, self-confidence, direction, and a spirit of teamwork and sacrifice.
