Athletic Director’s Mission Statement

California Military Institute (CMI Athletic Program dynamically supports the mission of the school. The emphasis on excellence in leadership and character building sets us apart from other institutions. I believe through athletics we can accomplish academic excellence, a positive school environment, and student growth.

Our role is to teach the values of teamwork, commitment, sportsmanship, pride, work ethic, respect, responsibility, and a positive attitude.
