Values & Standards
During the 2018-2019 school year, UCFSD welcomed New York Times Best-Selling Author John O’Sullivan to our community. He challenged our athletics community to create a culture around a shared set of values and standards, as opposed to rules. A committee worked with our community to do just that. Since, our athletes, staff, and community have embraced these values and standards in many different ways.
