Pursuing Victory With Honor

Win with character. Lose with dignity.

Samohi interscholastic athletic competition strives to demonstrate high ethical standards and sportsmanship. Samohi believes the highest potential of sports is achieved when participants are committed to pursuing victory with honor according to six core principles: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, care, and good citizenship. This Code applies to all student athletes, coaches, parents, and staff.

All Samohi athletics must be congruent with Santa Monica High School’s academic goals and objectives established for the intellectual, physical, social, and moral development of our students. Samohi teams place academic achievement as the highest priority. We show respect for teammates, opponents, officials, and coaches, as well as the integrity and judgment of game officials. Samohi exhibits fair play, sportsmanship, and proper conduct on and off the playing field both by adhering to the established rules and standards of the game to be played, and by refraining from the use of profanity, vulgarity, and other offensive language and gestures. We maintain a high level of safety awareness through respect for and use of all appropriate equipment and use it safely and appropriately. Samohi athletes refrain from the use of alcohol, tobacco, illegal and non-prescriptive drugs, anabolic steroids or any substance to increase physical development or performance.
