Circle of Champions
A community dedicated to championing student-athletes on and off the field
Welcome to the Circle of Champions, a community dedicated to “championing” Worthington Christian School’s student-athletes’ success on and off the field, court, or track. Annual membership provides financial resources that go beyond mere wins and losses. The Circle of Champions supports the athletic department’s holistic approach, emphasizing principles that transcend the scoreboard and are guided by what it means to be a Worthington Christian Warrior.
Through an annual individual/family membership, the Circle of Champions enables the athletic department to provide unparalleled training, programming, and experiences that enhance our students’ growth beyond what the annual budget allows.
Join us as we embark on this journey of preparation and transformation. Let’s foster a community where every student-athlete can thrive in competition and life.
