While the Gann community celebrates the wins, Gann Varsity Athletics are about much more than just a score or a conference title. Beyond the awards are more important wins. Gann athletes find their voices and self-confidence on the field. They know the value of hard work and the rewards that come from focus and determination. Most importantly, every Gann athlete learns to balance athletic skill-building and the love of the game with a deep commitment to humility, sportsmanship, and team. GO GANN!!
