Explorer Athletics
Welcome to the Explorer Athletics program! At Encompass Academy, participation in sports is more than just competition—it’s an opportunity for students to grow as individuals and teammates. Our athletics program builds on the school’s core values of academic achievement, social-emotional growth, enrichment, and personalized pathways. We are proud to support student-athletes in developing resilience, teamwork, integrity, and a strong work ethic—both on and off the field.
​
Encompass Academy is currently in its probationary period as an independent member of the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA), the governing body for high school sports in Nevada. We compete primarily in the Division 1A league and in charter school competitions. Athletics are funded by the school and supported through targeted fundraising efforts, with equitable distribution across teams.
