The goal of the MJDS After-School Athletic program is to allow all Middle School students to participate equally in a safe, fun environment. We encourage all Middle School students to participate in the North Shore Conference, competing against teams from other area middle schools.

Although winning is one goal, the main focus of athletics at MJDS is to build teamwork and cooperation. No one is cut from any team based on skill, and play time is divided equally among all players. Boys and girls cross country season starts in September and ends in October. The girls basketball season runs from October to December, and the boys basketball season runs from December to February. Boys and girls volleyball takes place in February and March, followed by track and tennis in April and May.
