Athletic Programs

 

Durham Public Schools has some of the best student-athletes and athletic programs in the state! Our middle and high schools offer numerous opportunities for students to participate in a wide range of sports. Preliminary information is here, and we recommend you contact your school directly for more detailed information. A list of the school athletic directors can be found below. 

 

If your child attends a magnet school that does not offer any athletic programs, your child may be eligible to play sports at his or her base school instead.
