The Skyhawk Way: Building Champions for Life

At Hammond, our athletic program is about more than just winning games--it's about shaping student-athletes who grow in character as much as skill. The Skyhawk Way means embracing resilience, teamwork, and the courage to push beyond personal limits.

We know that some of life’s most important lessons happen on the field and court: how to face adversity, support your teammates, and persevere through challenges. These values are at the core of everything we do, guiding our athletes as they develop into confident, compassionate leaders.

The qualities we instill in our student-athletes today will have a lasting impact.

It’s no surprise, then, that Hammond boasts an impressive legacy of state championships and a strong tradition of athletes who continue their journey at the collegiate level. But above all, the true measure of the Skyhawk Way is the lasting impact these lessons have on our students—on and off the field.
 

State Championships (1967 - present) - 161 State Championships...and counting

Our record speaks for itself. At Hammond, we are proud to have had coaches and student-athletes who consistently excel at both the regional and state levels.

With an impressive 161 cummulative state championships—a feat rarely matched by similar independent schools—this legacy of excellence continues to grow. Congratulations to all our teams, past and present, for these impressive wins.
