Athletics

Athletics for All

Thomas Jefferson believes in the value of athletics as part of an overall liberal arts education, and we encourage all Middle and Upper School students to participate on our sports teams — regardless of ability or experience.

From learning how to collaborate, to gaining time management skills, athletics fosters many skills in your child — skills that are valuable in college and in life.

Our inclusive athletics program means your child can test new capacities and discover new talents without fear of being cut from the team.

TJ’s teams are competitive, offering your gifted student-athlete plenty of opportunities to grow and excel.

TJ is a member of the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) and the Ozark 7 Conference. During conference play, our teams compete against McAuley, College Heights, Wheaton, Verona, Exeter, and Golden City. To provide the widest variety of competition, we also compete with several other regional schools outside of our conference.

We encourage our TJ family and community members to come out and cheer on our Cavaliers. See our Calendar of Events for upcoming competitions.

We also invite members of the TJ Community to support our student-athletes through the TJ Athletic Boosters.
