About Skyhawk Athletics
The mythical Skyhawk bird is a strong, fast, driven creature that is fierce yet cooperative with others. This can be said of our athletes as well. We take pride in our athletics as we offer 12 sports (six men's and six women's) at the highest level of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) competition.
