Winter Athletic Registration and Information
As we near the beginning of the 2026/2027 Winter Season of Sport, this a friendly reminder that the Spring Sports Season will be here VERY SOON! Click on the link to see what Bethel High School offers the students the opportunity to participate in the following sports during the Spring Athletic Season; with the official start date listed as well.
Throughout the month of November, please click on the Bethel High School Athletics Page for updated coach and practice information for when Spring Sports Begin. This information will continue to be updated as we near the start of your season. You can also check for updates on Twitter (X).
Athletic Registration only needs to be completed once a year, and we will be registering through a new system called Final Forms. Please select the sport(s) your child is thinking about participating in.
A Current Physical (within the last 13 months) must also be on file prior to trying out for their sport. Parents...please UPLOAD your child's physical into their portal, in a single file, for review and confirmation.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Lowry at the Athletics Office, 253-800-7185.
The Great Bison Show Up Challenge!
Last year, our attendance during the week before Thanksgiving Break was 65%. This year, we're challenging ourselves to reach our school-wide attendance goal of 72%!
To make it fun, we're kicking off The Great Bison Show Up Challenge! If we reach 72% attendance, the two grade levels with the highest attendance will win a special prize!
But that's not all! If we reach 75% attendance, we'll unlock a special administration-level reward!
Let's work together, show up, and finish strong before Thanksgiving Break. Every day counts, and every Bison matters!
