My Story

Sound mind. Sound body. Sound character. The Athletics program complements Menlo School’s rigorous college preparatory program with an extensive offering of highly competitive team sports, providing students the opportunity to develop mind, body and character for themselves, their teams and their school. From the novice to the college-bound athlete, Menlo offers unparalleled opportunity and excellence. Nearly 80 percent of the Upper School student body participates in at least one sport. Athletes, coaches and parents together strive to develop a commitment to their team, and the courage to try and give their best effort. Athletics allow our students to practice graciousness, respect and honesty for their teammates, competitors, coaches and officials. All the while, they continue to learn the importance of “sound body, sound mind,” with physical conditioning and nutrition. Menlo teams and athletes have reached the highest levels of competition from Northern California regionals to state championships all while abiding by our longstanding commitment toward being your best, accepting responsibility, putting team first and behaving with sportsmanship.
