Dear Eagles Family,

On behalf of the Walnut Hills Athletics Department, welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! We are excited to begin new seasons filled with opportunities for growth, achievement, and Eagle pride. Whether you're returning to the program or joining us for the first time, thank you for being part of the Walnut Hills athletic community.

Athletics here at Walnut Hills are more than competition—they’re a platform for our students to grow as leaders, teammates, and individuals. We are proud to offer a wide variety of sports across junior high and high school levels, and each of our programs is guided by a commitment to excellence, character, and academic success.

That said, make no mistake—we compete. As proud members of the Eastern Cincinnati Conference (ECC) and participants in OHSAA Division I, our student-athletes regularly face some of the top competition in the state. Year after year, Walnut Hills teams rise to the challenge, demonstrating skill, determination, and resilience. We take pride in being competitive—not just in the score—but in how we prepare, how we perform under pressure, and how we respond in both victory and defeat. Our athletes know that success is earned through hard work, discipline, and an unshakable team-first mindset.

To our student-athletes: you are part of a long-standing tradition of excellence. With that comes the responsibility to represent Walnut Hills with integrity—on the field, in the classroom, and in the community. Come prepared, give your best effort, and always lead with respect. Be the teammate and community member others can count on.

To our families: thank you for your support, encouragement, and trust. Your support is vital to everything we do. From cheering in the stands to helping with rides or simply being there after a tough game, your involvement matters deeply. We are grateful for your partnership and are committed to keeping you informed and engaged throughout the year.

Our top priority is the holistic development of every student-athlete. Success here isn’t just about wins—it’s about helping students become their best selves. We’re here to support them every step of the way as they learn to balance academics, athletics, and personal growth.

You all are an essential part of what makes Walnut Hills Athletics special, and we want this to be a meaningful, rewarding experience for every student-athlete and family. When the season ends and your journey here is complete, we hope you’ll look back with pride on what you’ve accomplished and the memories you’ve made.

Please remember: you are not alone in this journey. Our coaches, staff, and administrators are here to support you—whether it’s questions about eligibility, scheduling, training, or navigating the student-athlete experience.

We’re looking forward to an exciting year ahead. Let’s continue to build something great—together.
