Sports are about more than the results on a scoreboard. Increasingly appearing at higher-level competitions and earning awards, KIPP is growing both our athletic leadership and our physical facilities to continuously add more sports opportunities on more campuses. In fact, KIPP Nashville Collegiate HS and KIPP Antioch College Prep MS both made it to the TMSSA and TSSAA State Track Championships – both teams practicing for those competitions without access to a track. More importantly, we are expanding the KIPP athletic spirit of resilience, perseverance, and determination.
They carry a multitude of benefits, developing student-athletes who embody our core values of Competing with Character, Inspiring Excellence, and Leading with Integrity. Since our founding, KIPP Nashville has developed independent programs and partnered with local public schools to offer athletic opportunities for students to join competitive and club teams. Today, students are taking the fields and courts with excellence.

Today, across six KIPP schools, 770 students – that’s nearly 40% of all middle and high school students enrolled – are testing their physical limits and teamwork as members of a growing athletics program.
