SHASTA COLLEGE ATHLETICS

Joe Wyse Superintendent/President

Shasta College has a long and rich tradition in Intercollegiate Athletics. As a community college, we strive to foster a strong link between our athletes’ success in their chosen sport and in the classroom. We truly desire to help them become all that the term ‘student athlete’ infers. Shasta College is committed to the values of the California Community College Commission on Athletics: Student Health and Welfare, Academic Success, Ethical Conduct, Recognition of Excellence, Gender Equity, and Non-Discrimination.

I have enjoyed watching many of our student athletes over the past seven years as they demonstrated their abilities and showed a strong commitment to our college and the programs it offers. Our dedicated coaches, faculty, staff and administration work tirelessly to provide many opportunities for our students to develop stronger character, leadership and teamwork skills that will serve them in the many fields in which they will work upon transfer or graduation. All of us at Shasta College recognize and appreciate the tremendous community support of our athletic program and join you as you help our students gain the skills and abilities not only to succeed, but to thrive after college. I wish all the best to our athletes, teams, coaches and support staff. Go Knights!
