Athletics
at Castle Park are rich in tradition and have given the school and its
community a vital and strong identity. Being the only high school
adopted by the USC Trojans back in 1963, CP prides itself on continuing
Trojan tradition and meeting rigorous standards of sportsmanship.
With three CIF football
titles and a "mythical" state title back in 1996, CP has earned its mark
as a respected athletic school. The Trojans have sent five athletes to
professional sports, beginning with Steve Riley (CP Class of 1969), followed by John Fox (1978), Benji Gil (1991), Moses Moreno (1993), and Zeke Moreno (1996).
In
its 45 years of existence, Castle Park has also been responsible for
sending numerous athletes to Division I colleges. We pride ourselves on
hard work and toughness and we live by the motto "Tradition of
Excellence".
For all future, existing,
and graduated athletes, "Once a Trojan, Always a Trojan" are words that
become a source of pride and strength to draw on throughout life.
The
record of excellence and high quality Castle Park Athletics has come to
stand for has created a relationship to the Castle Park community that
is truly special. It is a relationship that is filled with community
pride, positive identity and one that has developed its own mystique by
giving exponentially to all engaged.
