September 2008
(sung to the Onward Christian Solders tune)

They call us the Patriots,
Better than the rest.
Jesus is our Savior,
That makes us the best!
Let us lift our voices, let’s cheer one and all.
P-A-T-R-I-O-T-S Lets go! Rah! Rah! Rah!
Onward Christian soldiers,
Go and win us pride.
We are Open Door, and, Christ is on our side!

Purpose: To pay tribute and extend recognition to those individuals who through the years have contributed to the honor of Open Door Christian Schools in the field of athletics, and who have continued to demonstrate, in their daily lives, the values learned through interscholastic participation in sports while exemplifying the virtues of being people of faith.

Every Season the Athletic Department needs your help in order to make our Sports Programs the best they can be! There are numerous areas that we need volunteers in and we are always looking to start new programs to grow our athletic programs. The following volunteer opportunities are generally needed for every sport at every level.
