Dear
Golden Bear Fans:
  Welcome
to the official web site for the Upper Arlington High
School Athletic Program. I appreciate you visiting our
site and sincerely thank our sponsors The
Arlington Bank, The
Ohio Orthopedic Center for Excellence, and Nicholson
Builders. We have a very proud tradition of athletics
at our high school and I hope you find this site to
be very useful as you learn about our programs and traditions.
Athletic
teams at Upper Arlington are consistently competitive
on the conference, state and even the national level.
The tradition of excellence associated with our athletic
programs is due, in part, to the winning heritage which
has been established over the last 80+ years. More importantly,
the success of these programs can be measured by the
preparation they have given student-athletes who, after
graduation from Upper Arlington, go on to become organizational
leaders, outstanding citizens and true team players
among their professional peers.
Upper
Arlington's strong winning tradition is alive and well
today. Each season our teams compete at the highest
level and to date our athletic programs have won 117
State Championships
and numerous conference titles as members of the Ohio
Capital Conference.
I
hope you enjoy your visit to our site and that your
experience with Upper Arlington High School Athletics
is a positive one. Each season our coaches and student
athletes work extremely hard to represent our community
and school district with pride, excitement, and sportsmanship.
I encourage you to come to game and enjoy the Golden
Bear experience. Thanks for your support and GO BEARS!
Sincerely,
|
