Below are Whitman’s four main types of sports programs:

1. JV/Varsity Sports (www.WhitmanAthletics.net):  In 2023, the Washington Post honored Whitman as the “Best Sports Program in MCPS!”  Whitman students play on ~50 JV/Varsity teams which compete against other MCPS schools.  Examples include soccer, basketball, swim/dive, football, track and lacrosse. There are three primary seasons:  fall, winter, and spring.  Our JV/Varsity sports are funded by both MCPS and our Whitman All-Sports Boosters Club.  Our Whitman Athletic Director Bill Toth and Whitman coaches manage these teams.

Allied/Corollary Sports:  Our Allied/Corollary Sports include bocce, indoor softball, and pickleball. Their goal is to increase participation for all students, in particular students with disabilities.

For more info on our JV/Varsity/Allied/Corollary Sports, go to www.WhitmanAthletics.net.   

2. Physical Education (P.E.):  Whitman students play sports during P.E. classes during the school day which are a part of our MCPS curriculum.  Every MCPS student must enroll in at least one year of P.E. to graduate.  Students most commonly take P.E. as 9th graders.  For more info, go to our Whitman website (www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/whitmanhs), click the “Counseling” tab, and review the Course Bulletin.

3. Student-run Clubs:  There are ~150 student-run clubs at Whitman and several of them are organized around an athletic activity.  Examples include tai-chi, yoga, rock climbing, and biking.  The activities often change from year-to-year depending on student interest.  Our Whitman PTSA sponsors a “Whitman Student Clubs Night” every fall.  https://www.whitmanptsa.org/

4. Outside organizations:  There are some unofficial “Whitman” teams managed by outside organizations.  They practice and compete off-campus at local facilities.  They are not officially affiliated with Whitman HS nor MCPS in any way.  Contact info is below.  Subject to change.    

We thank our wonderful sponsors for their support!
