Middle school sports return after 40 years!

Middle school sports returned to Battle Ground Public Schools after a 40-year absence with basketball, soccer and cross country during the 2021-22 school year. This year, girls volleyball and co-ed track events are being added. To help manage the cost of reintroducing the middle school sports program, sports will be phased in over several years and use existing facilities.

History of middle school sports

The last season of middle school sports in Battle Ground was in 1982 before they were eliminated due to a double levy failure. The Battle Ground Public Schools Board of Directors worked to bring back middle school sports in response to requests from parents and community members on district surveys. A few years ago, the district began conducting ThoughtExchange surveys that brought priorities such as middle school sports to the top of the list of what the community wants for our students.
