The William Floyd School District Athletic Department provides interscholastic athletic opportunities for male and female students in grades seven through 12. The athletic program fields 64 teams in 18 different sports with more than 1,000 students participating in the program at the middle school and high school levels. The athletic program supports the academic mission of our school district and serves as an extension of our educational program. Through our athletic program, students will learn teamwork, sportsmanship, being a gracious winner and loser, hard work, self-discipline, self-confidence and the skills necessary to handle competitive situations. Student-athletes will also acquire the skills and knowledge to live healthy lifestyles through their continued sports participation. There are three sport seasons, during the fall, winter and spring seasons, in which student-athletes have the opportunity to compete. Equal opportunities for participation are available for both male and female athletes during each of the seasons.

At the April 16, 2024 budget adoption meeting, the William Floyd Board of Education adopted its proposed budget for the 2024-25 school year, which calls for a slight increase of less than one percent (0.99%), which estimates to a yearly increase of $92 (0.25 cents per day) for the averaged assessed home in the community (the average assessed home in the community is 1,995). This modest proposed increase, which maintains and adds programs, comes on the heels of the past three years in which the district held the budget to a zero increase in 2021-22, a nearly $5 million reduction in the tax levy in 2022-23, and a $17.5 million reduction in the tax levy in 2023-24.
