MLHS Athletics is dedicated to providing a wide range of opportunities for any student athlete who is willing to dedicate his or her time and energy in a positive way to a particular sport or team. Athletics at MLHS provide a means for student-athletes to learn, to grow and to excel. Our teams provide opportunities for student-athletes to learn the values of mutual respect, sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, dedication, healthy competition and overall fitness.

We believe...

• Athletics is an extension of the classroom.
• In striving for excellence in all things.
• Every student-athlete can have a positive role on his/her athletic team, regardless of ability.
• Playing multiple sports has the greatest benefit to the individual athlete and to the entire MLHS athletic program.
• Participation is the hallmark of "Laker Pride" and a key reason for success in our athletic programs.
• Athletics provides opportunities for students to learn lessons in social responsibility and community service.
• In the importance of sportsmanship from all participants and spectators.
• That close ties among the local community, booster groups and high school athletics are integral to providing our student-athletes with a positive experience in sports.
• In the importance of teamwork. 
• Winning is important, but winning and losing with honor is of the greatest importance. Student-athletes, coaches and spectators should conduct themselves in the spirit of “Laker Pride” at all times.
• In promoting athletics for the physical and emotional well-being for our student athletes now and as life-long learners.
• That athletics provides opportunities for student-athletes to become leaders.
• Athletics is a vehicle for student-athletes to grow through setting goals and working to achieve them, individually and collectively.

GO LAKERS!

All home football games, we will be using an online ticketing system called GO FAN.  https://gofan.co/app/school/NJ20240.  This link will take you to the homepage to purchase tickets for each home game.  You can save the ticket to your phone and present it at the gate to be checked in by ML Staff.
