Athletics at CAK

Where Athletics Shape Who Students Become

At CAK, athletics are about more than competition, they are an extension of our mission to develop students who understand their value, their purpose, and their impact on others. Our coaches strive to be transformational leaders, shaping student-athletes who are known not just for how they perform, but for who they are.
We believe every athlete is created with inherent worth and should be cared for, encouraged, and challenged in an environment where love comes first.

Our Sports

As a proud member of TSSAA Division II, CAK offers a wide range of competitive opportunities for student-athletes to grow, compete, and excel. With 14 varsity sports, there is a place for every athlete to develop their skills and be part of something bigger than themselves.

Our athletic programs are strengthened by the support of the Warrior Athletic Club (WAC), a dedicated community of parents who invest their time, talents, and resources to enhance the experience of every CAK student-athlete and support all of our athletic teams.

Our commitment to excellence extends beyond high school competition. On a regular basis, CAK student-athletes continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level.
