IHSA State Swimming and DIving Meet Information

Sportsmanship

Good sportsmanship is the attitude and behavior that exemplifies positive support for the interscholastic programs of IHSA member schools, as well as for the individuals who participate in these programs. People involved in any facet of New Trier’s interscholastic programs are expected to demonstrate respect for others and display good sportsmanship. 

Emphasizing and improving the sportsmanship of our students, athletes, parents, and staff is one of our highest priorities.

Each coach, student and parent has a role and responsibility to model and teach good sportsmanship.

Parking Information

Streets surrounding the school signed as "No Parking On School Days."  Friday is an Institute Day for New Trier High School therefore it is not a school day.  

In cooperation with the Winnetka Police Department parking restrictions have been loosened, but vehicles blocking Fire Hydrants, Fire Zones, Handicapped parking, and residential driveways will be ticketed and towed.

This is a "residential area school" therefore; parking on campus is extremely limited.  New Trier High School strongly encourages Spectators to park in the train station lot at the corner of Green Bay Rd and Winnetka Ave.  We apologize for the inconvenience.
