GMSD Athletic Excellence
At all levels, GMSD is known for excellence in athletics. Beginning at the elementary level, students can participate in competitive sports, with our Dogwood elementary girls cross country team holding a record in the state. As those students move into middle school, Houston Middle and Riverdale K-8 provides the groundwork that is required to show students the determination they need to continue competing at Houston High School. GMSD works to ensure that our student athletes are not only in peak physical condition for their sport, but also that they learn how to show good sportsmanship and always be there for their teammates. As HHS, HMS, and Riverdale all introduce new sports this year, we cannot wait to continue our athletic excellence and helping student athletes to become their very best, both on and off the field.
Houston High School's legacy includes over 100 state championships, with many student athletes advancing to Division I programs at school like Vanderbilt, UT Knox, Memphis, Kansas, State, and many more.
