Our Lady of Humility School, Our Lady of Humilty Parish, Zion/Beach Park, Illinois

The athletic department of Our Lady of Humility school exists as a complementary facet of the school's educational program. The primary goal of the athletic program is the formation of Christian ethic and values. These are strengthened through the development of leadership, commitment, skill achievement, self-esteem, teamwork, sportsmanship and competition.

We firmly believe that a sense of unity must prevail among all those involved in Our Lady of Humility athletics. In order to provide each participant with the maximum benefits of our program, coaches', parents, school personnel and student athletes must share a sense of commitment.
