In alignment with the broader mission of Great Hearts Louisiana, Great Hearts Harveston Athletics exists to cultivate the hearts and minds of student-athletes through the beauty of competition. Each sports program aims to foster a community of young men and women committed to moral, intellectual, and physical excellence. Through participation in athletics, students have the opportunity to develop virtues such as prudence, justice, temperance, courage, and charity, ultimately finding joy in the goodness of sportsmanship and play.

We are incredibly excited to continue to provide athletic opportunities for our Great Hearts Harveston scholars! Athletics is about so much more than competition—it is an opportunity for students to develop discipline, perseverance, teamwork, leadership, and character. Through athletics, we hope to help each scholar grow not only as an athlete, but as a confident, responsible, and well-rounded person who strives for excellence both on and off the field. Our athletics program offers sports for students across 3rd – 10th grade. If your scholar is in Kindergarten – 2nd grade, we recommend looking into i9 Sports, a local youth sports program that provides programming for children in those grade levels. Please visit i9 Sports for more information.
