“WHERE CHARACTER MEETS COURAGE.”
Let us run the race before us and never give up.
Hebrews 12:1
ROAR AS ONE
At One School, our name and our mascot remind us of who we are—Lions. Lions thrive when they stay with their community (or pride): safe, strong, and united. Alone, a lion is vulnerable.
The “O” represents our circle of strength and protection. Together, inside the ‘O’ is where we are at our best. Inside the O is where we are safe, where we grow, where we win.
When we stay inside the O, we commit to our LION HEART values:
Love that serves and sacrifices in unity.
Integrity that guides every daily decision.
Ownership of our actions and attitude.
Nurture that builds and protects the team.
Humility to learn, grow, and live like Christ in unity that strengthens the team.
Excellence in every aspect as a scholar and athlete. Using the intelligence we’ve been entrusted. Accountability to keep each other “inside the ‘O’.
Respect and gratitude for parents, teammates, coaches, opponents, referees, and the ‘O’ culture
Tenacity means we play with intensity, passion, perseverance, and toughness.
