SANDPOINT — It was quite a successful fall sports season in every sense imaginable for Sandpoint High this season. With two more state championships and five district titles under the Bulldogs’ belt, what has been a part of this recipe for success you may ask? First-year athletic director, TJ Clary, said the high school’s mantra ‘winning on and off the field’ has made a big difference in the athletic careers of many students lately.

This year, the Bulldogs vowed to put an even bigger emphasis on what it means to be a student-athlete. Clary, along with many others, fine-tuned the school’s academic-athletic accountability process, and it has paid off.

This year over 360 high school students competed in athletic programs offered by the school district, which equates to over one-third of the student population. Although quite challenging at times to monitor the academic performances of every student-athlete, Clary said it was all worth it in the end.
