ATTENTION GIRLS! 🤼♀️
Halifax Area School District wants YOUR input about GIRLS WRESTLING opportunities!
Female students in grades 7–12 and their parents are encouraged to complete this survey to help us better understand interest in girls wrestling and determine how we can best serve our community.
📋 Complete the survey here:
https://forms.gle/c2RV9CXpU7TmDPEF6
What Are We Exploring?
Halifax is considering two possible options for girls wrestling:
🥇 Option 1: Start a Halifax Girls Wrestling Program
Establish a Junior High (grades 7–8) and High School (grades 9–12) PIAA girls wrestling program at Halifax.
🤝 Option 2: Cooperative Sport Sponsorship (Co-Op)
Partner with another public school that offers girls wrestling, allowing Halifax girls in grades 7–12 to compete as part of that program.
What We Offer Now
Our Mat Cats Elementary Wrestling Program currently provides boys and girls in grades K–6 with the opportunity to participate in wrestling.
However, Halifax does not currently offer a girls wrestling program for students in grades 7–12.
We want to hear from you! Your feedback will help us assess interest and determine the best path forward for girls wrestling at Halifax.
Please complete the survey and share it with other Halifax families who may be interested!
