Home of the Griffins!
When our young men participate in athletics, they learn so much more than the fundamental skills of a sport. Our athletic program creates positive social, physical and educational development opportunities where students gain confidence and learn self-discipline, self-control, sportsmanship, and teambuilding.
We encourage all students to take part in our athletic program, an integral part of the school experience. Student-athletes are expected to be role models both on and off the field and many excel at both sports and academics.
UPrep competes in Section V Athletics and offers the following sports for young men at the Modified, JV, and Varsity Levels. Go Griffins!

Home of the Griffins!
At UPrep Charter School For Young Men, we fully engage the students in who we are as a whole. When the time came for our school to create a logo for our athletic teams, we challenged our students to find one that would perfectly represent our school. Thus, the UPrep Griffins were born.
Gianni Campbell – 7th Grade (2010-2011) designed the Griffin logo and wrote:
“Here at UPrep, our logo combines the symbolic qualities of two creatures: the lion and the eagle. It’s the king of birds, and the king of beast; with the eagle representing wisdom, and the lion representing strength. Wisdom and strength are what we have at UPrep, and that’s why we call ourselves the UPrep Griffins.”
