2011 Fall Sports Program - Saint Viator High School

WELCOME
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the 2011-2012 Fall Sports Season! As we celebrate Saint Viator High School’s 50th anniversary, it is great to see the long tradition of
our athletic program continue to flourish. As an alumnus of Saint Viator, I am proud to be on the sidelines cheering for our students and seeing the
pride they carry as part of the Lion Legacy.
This season, our teams look to build on the successes they celebrated last year. In 2010, the boys’ soccer team won the ESCC conference
championship, as well as the Regional championship. The girls’ cross country team won the conference championship for the first time in 17 years,
and the boys’ golf team recaptured their conference title making this their sixth championship in seven years.
This year, I invite you to become a part of the Saint Viator Athletic Program. We have established a winning tradition and our student-athletes appreciate not only your
financial commitments but also your loyalty and dedication to their teams and programs. We all know that a winning program depends not only on the athletes and
coaches, but also on the support of the boosters, parents and alumni.
As this fall season gets underway, I ask you to continue to support the Lions both with your presence and with your financial help – join the Athletic Booster Club, buy Million
Dollar Classic Raffle Tickets, attend events and meets, or just stand up and cheer! As a school committed to excellence – in the classroom, on the court, and amongst our
students – our future is bright and our hopes are high as we begin another season of Lion Athletics.
Thank you for your dedication and support. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Sincerely,
Rev. Robert M. Egan, C.S.V.
President
Welcome to all Lions fans and guests!
We enter the new season filled with great excitement. Our student-athletes and coaches have spent a great deal of time preparing to represent
the Lions in a positive way. Their commitment and dedication are why Saint Viator has enjoyed success throughout its proud history. Saint Viator
holds a strong belief in promoting sportsmanship at all our athletic events. We ask that when attending one of our contests you work with us to
promote a positive environment for all participants.
There are many ways to get involved in the Lions athletic program. Consider becoming a part of the tradition that is Saint Viator athletics. Come
cheer on the Lions at our many events, volunteer in the concession stand, or become a member of our Athletic Booster Club; there truly is
something for everyone. Our program can only continue to grow through the generous help of our fans and supporters.
Our theme for this year is the acronym ROAR, which stands for Responsibility, Opportunity, Accountability, and Respect. These four characteristics lay the foundation for a
positive athletic experience. We encourage our athletes and coaches to pursue victory with honor and to live out the mission of Saint Viator in their athletic endeavors.
I wish all of our student-athletes and coaches much success this year. You give us many reasons to be proud to be a Lion. Special thanks go out to the members of the
athletic department staff who work hard to make the Saint Viator athletic program what it is today.
GO LIONS!

LION CODE OF BEHAVIOR
Lions are young men and women of Saint Viator who pride themselves as students
and members of our community. They not only represent themselves and their families,
but also their fellow classmates, the school, and their moderators and coaches.
They will strive to be leaders and conduct themselves in such a manner as to
be praised as exemplary young men and women.
STUDENT PLEDGE
“As a member of the Saint Viator High School community, I promise to
conduct myself in a manner which reflects positive Christian values, living my faith.
I will respect others at all times – my fellow students, my family and teachers, coaches
and moderators. I will demand a 100 % effort of myself in
the classroom and co-curricular activities. I will accept
responsibility for my own actions. I make this commitment to
myself and to you, my classmates, to always be a Lion bringing
honor to myself, my family and my school.”

SAINT VIATOR HIGH SCHOOL COLORS, MASCOT & SEAL
Colors: Navy Blue and White Mascot: Lion
The lion figure derived from the French city of Lyon, the home of St. Viator and Fr.
Louis Querbes, the founder of the Viatorians. The school incorporated
the red lion and the white fleur-de-lis from the coat of
arms of the city of Lyon, the crown of thorns surrounding the letters
IHS that is the seal of the Clerics of St. Viator, and three
orbitals symbolizing scientific learning. The torch behind the
shield is a symbol of knowledge, truth, and the Catholic faith.
