Welcome to a new year of Cavalier Athletics.  Our focus this year is on motivating the student-athlete to be their very best on a consistent basis, in the classroom and on the playing venue of their choice.. As we begin this journey together, I would like to motivate Kiski Area student-athletes to participate with passion and always keep sportsmanship first.  Athletic participation is a great opportunity to develop character, discipline, unity, and to have fun. My belief is to strive for perfection in ALL facets of competition while pursuing victory with honor. As you step on the field of play, always remember that you are a representative of the “Kiski Area School District and the Kiski Area Community” . With that in mind, you will understand that quitting is not an option and anything less than 100% effort is unacceptable.  You are expected to put in the hard work necessary for success and compete until the final whistle blows. Regardless of the outcome, you will be proud of your effort and move forward with your head held high. I wish for your athletic experiences in this program to be filled with good health, character building, bonding, and defining championship moments that will last a lifetime. Make your school, parents, and the community proud. So put on your game face and let the excitement and competition of this new school year begin.

On behalf of our coaches, athletic boosters, parent volunteers, students and alumni, we welcome you to Kiski Area and thank you for your support. Through our combined efforts, we will continue to generate the continued resources necessary for consistent success within our athletic program. I encourage those young and old to learn more about Kiski Area and to become part of the Cavalier family as a student, parent, supporter or fan.
