Athletics & Activities
The interscholastic athletic/activities programs of the Lee’s Summit School District have a lasting impact on students.
Through character-based programs we prepare students to become adults of integrity and compassion who model excellence in all aspects of their life while meeting the district’s mission of: “We Prepare Each Student for Success in Life.”
Exemplary Athletic Programs
Lee’s Summit R7 Schools District and its three high school athletic programs have been identified as a 2021 recipient of the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA) Quality Program Award at the Exemplary Level. To be recognized as a Quality Program Award Exemplary High School Program, schools must present evidence of existing policies, practices, and procedures that meet suggested content criteria within ten Quality Program assessment categories. Schools must show innovation and vision that makes use of suggested best practices in high school athletic programs. To date the three Lee’s Summit High Schools are the only three high schools in Missouri to achieve the Quality Program Award.
