Athletics Overview
Dear Steelmen Fans,
Welcome to Joliet Central Athletics! Joliet Central is proud of the accomplishments of our student-athletes, both on and off the field. Athletically, the Steelmen compete in the Southwest Prairie Conference. In our conference, Sportsmanship is very important. We ask that spectators and players make behavior their top priority at all athletic contests.
The foundation of our athletic department is our M-V-P: our Mission, Values, and Purpose. Building an elite culture that exists as part of the overall school community must come from proper planning and a passion to teach. This is where the MVP process comes into play. Developing a Mission Statement, Value Statement, and Purpose Statement lays the foundation of what the Joliet Central Athletic Department relies upon. Our MVP statements simply answer the Why, the What, and the How of our department

Purpose Statement:

ONWARD! - ADELANTE!

Embedded in our School Loyalty, The battle cry of ONWARD or ADELANTE, is as steeped in tradition as Joliet Township High School itself. The refocus on this rallying cry helps the athletic department, coaches, student-athletes, parents, and community members focus on the culture present within the school and the community itself. A culture focused on always moving forward, constantly improving, while never complacent or satisfied.
