Student life is a central pillar in Futuro Verde and our athletic department benefits all!  All Futuro Verde students receive weekly physical education and swim classes in which students learn to swim and develop their physical abilities.  Not to mention, physical education and swim classes are some of the favorite classes of our Futuro Verde student body.  Having a bilingual Athletic Department chair and physical education teacher with a degree in Physical Education and Sports Science and a Masters in Teaching has made a positive impact on our programming!

But, do you know how many students participate in the Student Sports Competitions? Thanks to the support of the Futuro Verde board of directors and administrative team, this year 59% of our student body participated in some level of the programming that Futuro Verde offers- be it in Table Tennis, Basketball, Track and Field, Cross Country or Swim.  We congratulate our participating students at all levels of competition and we remind you all to please continue to support our students who are still training for future rounds of competition in Basketball and Track and Field.  Go Futuro Verde!
