D15 Interscholastic Sports Year-End Wrap-Up 
District 15 provides its junior high students with a number of wonderful opportunities to participate in interscholastic athletic events throughout the school year! In the fall, it offers cross country, boys soccer, and girls basketball. In the winter, it offers boys basketball, wrestling, and girls volleyball. The year wraps up with track and field and girls soccer in the spring.
 
Each of these junior high teams competes in both conference games and meets against other District 15 schools, and non-conference games and tournaments against teams outside of the District. These contests provide thrilling and competitive experiences for students, and teaches them a great deal about teamwork and how to set and achieve their own personal goals.

District 15 is proud of its student-athletes' dedication to their teammates and their chosen sports, and it appreciates the commitment, time, and effort of the coaches who helped their athletes enjoy a positive season.
