Through partnerships with leading organizations like JPMorgan Chase and Up2Us Sports, we strive to provide transformative opportunities that nurture the personal growth and well-being of every student who steps onto our fields, courts, and tracks.
Championing Diverse Representation
Representation matters, and we are proud to have a coaching staff that reflects the rich diversity of our student body. Our coaches come from a variety of backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives and experiences that inspire our young athletes.
Whether it’s Taleek Norman empowering his students through Up2Us Sports or our own Coach Katlyn championing women in sports, our coaches are role models who demonstrate the power of pursuing one’s passions.
Fostering Inclusive Sports Programs
At Stanley Park, we believe that every student deserves the chance to participate in sports and reap the countless benefits they provide. That’s why we’ve developed inclusive programs that cater to athletes of all abilities, interests, and identities.
Our adaptive sports offerings, led by our Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists, ensure that students with disabilities can thrive and showcase their talents. Meanwhile, our gender-inclusive sports leagues provide a safe and supportive environment for LGBTQ+ athletes to compete and build community.
Empowering Student-Athlete Wellness
Beyond the field of play, we recognize the importance of nurturing the whole student-athlete. That’s why we’ve partnered with organizations like JPMorgan Chase’s Women on the Move to offer comprehensive wellness programming.
From mental health workshops to financial literacy seminars, our student-athletes have access to the resources and support they need to thrive both on and off the field. By prioritizing their overall well-being, we empower them to reach their full potential as leaders and change-makers in our community.
Unlocking the Power of Sports
At Stanley Park High School, we believe that sports have the power to transform lives. By fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, we’re empowering our young athletes to develop essential life skills, build meaningful connections, and discover their passions.
Whether they’re aspiring professional athletes or simply seeking to stay active and engaged, our students know that they have a place on our teams and in our community. Through our steadfast commitment to diversity, equity, and accessibility, we’re cultivating a new generation of champions who will go on to inspire others and make a lasting impact on the world.

Through these collaborations, we’re able to provide our students with access to coaching, mentorship, and leadership development opportunities that will serve them well beyond their time at Stanley Park.
By investing in the next generation of sports leaders, we’re not only nurturing their athletic potential but also their personal growth and civic engagement. Our student-athletes don’t just learn the fundamentals of their sport – they also develop the skills, confidence, and sense of purpose that will guide them to become compassionate, impactful members of society.
Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion
At Stanley Park, we’re committed to creating a culture of belonging where every student-athlete feels seen, heard, and valued. Whether it’s honoring LGBTQ+ identities during Pride Month or uplifting the contributions of Black coaches and athletes during Black History Month, we strive to celebrate the diversity that makes our community so vibrant and strong.
By fostering these meaningful dialogues and initiatives, we’re not only promoting greater understanding and acceptance but also empowering our students to become advocates for positive change. They learn that their voice and their experiences matter, and that they have the power to make a difference in the lives of their teammates, their school, and their community.
Inspiring a Lifetime of Athletic Engagement
At Stanley Park High School, our commitment to inclusivity extends far beyond the walls of our school. We believe that the lessons and values learned through sports should continue to enrich the lives of our students long after they graduate.
That’s why we’ve forged partnerships with organizations like JPMorgan Chase’s Women on the Move to provide ongoing support and resources for our alumni, empowering them to maintain active, healthy lifestyles and become leaders in their communities.
Whether it’s accessing financial planning tools, connecting with mentors, or discovering new athletic pursuits, our former student-athletes know that they can always turn to Stanley Park for the support they need to thrive.
