Rocklin High School
Athletic Vision
• What’s the main thing?
– The Rocklin High School Athletic program is and integral part of
the Rocklin High School learning experience. The RHS student
athlete experience is a result of the “six Pillars of Success” as
outlined in the Rocklin High School handbook; a lifelong learner
and continually improving. (Character, Communication ,
Commitment, Curriculum, Challenge and Community)
– The best learning comes when coach and teacher work together
• Connections
– It has been proven that when an adult on campus connects with a
HS student their chance for success increases exponentially.
– You have that opportunity to connect with athletes
Connect on Many Different Levels
You are a role model for all
these attributes.
Actions both on and off
the athletic arena.
Rocklin High School and
community have high
standards
“Success is peace of mind
which is a direct result of selfsatisfaction in knowing you did
your best to become the best
that you are capable of
becoming”. -John Wooden
