Athletics is a major offering at St. Peter’s, one that can occupy your child virtually from the first day of school to almost the last. Why have such a complete program? Our school’s mission statement tells us that we are attempting to help our children grow in five ways: spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, socially and physically. Our athletic program is an extension of that program. As a member of the Lutheran School Athletic Association, St. Peter’s offers a wide variety of athletics on several levels. There are 18 schools in the LSAA located throughout Allen, Adams and Noble Counties. Interscholastic competition is offered at two levels: the 5th & 6th grade division, often referred to as the junior varsity or reserve team, and the 7th & 8th grade division, the varsity level. There is a small one time fee for each sport.
