Park City Community,
During our high school basketball game with Harlowton last week, there was an ugly incident of racist comments and sounds made towards an opposing player. We are completely disgusted by this situation. There is no place for racism in our community, our school, or our sports. Students and student-athletes deserve a safe environment to learn and to participate, where they are not having to worry about what someone may say or do to them because of their race, skin color, or any other difference. At Park City Schools, we have emphasized this over and over, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to have been enough. It is so very sad that a student came to our school to participate in an athletic event, and did not feel safe because of things a few students did.
We will develop an action plan to move forward from this situation that will hopefully help to prevent any repetition of this disgusting event. Punishments will be handed down to any student involved in the incident. The first row or two in the student section under the basket will remain unoccupied through the season, except by administration or staff. Acceptable student behavior and sportsmanship will be reviewed with the 7-12 student body. We will have a student leadership group participate in the MHSA Aim Higher workshop. And we will work with our student council in setting goals for student behavior.
Please visit with your students about the importance of sportsmanship. If you want to help support the school’s efforts, please check out this free sportsmanship course from the National Federation of State High School Associations: https://nfhslearn.com/courses/sportsmanship-2
We sincerely apologize to Harlowton, including their school, their players and their parents for the actions of some of our students. We can only hope that you don’t let the actions of a few taint your opinion of Park City as a whole.
Sincerely,
Park City Schools
