Sports, Athletics, and Physical Fitness

At CICS Ralph Ellison, we believe health and enjoyment make better students. Whether through PE classes, athletic teams, or our fitness center, we encourage lifelong fitness habits.

Our athletics program welcomes all—whether seasoned athletes or first-timers—fostering teamwork, leadership, and a love for the game. We certainly want our teams to win, but we recognize that the most important benefit our students’ experience is learning to work as a team while fine-tuning leadership skills on the field.
