Athletics
Home of the Pioneers!
Alleman Catholic High School considers the athletic experience to be an important part of our students' overall development and are proud that upwards of 65% of our student body participate in one or more of the programs. Alleman houses 19 exceptional varsity programs and is a proud member of the Western Big 6 and Illinois High School Association.
The foundations of our athletic programs are hard work, teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership taught along with an implicit curriculum of faith. We hope our students will realize and exceed their athletic potential while learning life lessons as a result.
We will work hard to maintain the proper perspective that a student-athlete is a student first and an athlete second. Our goal is athletic success, with greater aspirations of cultivating young people to achieve success in a variety of areas to help prepare them for the future.
