Greetings!

Hello and welcome to Muskegon High School Athletics! Muskegon High School has a strong tradition in interscholastic athletics dating back to the early 20th century. Currently, the department offers 37 teams competing in 23 varsity sports for both boys and girls. In fact, Muskegon High School has been named one of Sports Illustrated's top athletic programs nationally!

Although our teams have captured 19 state titles over the years, the true purpose of the athletic program is to provide educational opportunities to eligible students that cannot be attained in the traditional classroom. The athletics classroom teaches sportsmanship, perseverance, self-confidence, healthy choices, discipline, positive attitude and much more.

We invite you to attend one of our contests during the school year to see for yourself the discipline and effort it takes to be a Big Red!

Yours in Educational Athletics,

Go Big Reds!

Terri J. Clock, C.A.A.

Director of Athletics

The Muskegon High School Athletic Department has teamed up with HighSchoolSports.net and TicketLeap to provide football fans with a new way to purchase tickets!

For all home varsity football contests, fans can purchase adult or student general admission tickets directly from http://www.highschoolsports.net/. By clicking on the "buy tickets" icon next to the game on the calendar, or by clicking the icon below, fans can use their major credit card to purchase and print ticket vouchers that can be presented directly at any gate of Hackley Stadium.

TicketLeap charges a $1 surcharge for each ticket purchased at regular prices ($5 adult tickets, $3 students). Ticket buyers need only present ID along with the voucher (along with a current student ID if applicable) at the gate to be admitted. Reserved tickets must still be purchased at the Hackley Stadium box office during office hours.
