Madera High School strives to provide an athletic environment that will enrich the student’s overall educational experience. Our goal is to provide competitive opportunities that encourage lifetime activities, commitment, teamwork, and character development amongst all student-athletes that are consistent with Madera Unified School District. Our athletic programs firmly believe that all participants are students first and athletes second, as it is part of our District Athletic Policy.
The committee visited Madera High and examined the school’s academic programs, support and intervention areas, staff and extracurricular activities. Several MUSD employees — from Madera High staff members to administration at the District Office — were interviewed by the WASC committee to gather feedback relative to Madera High.
A letter sent by Thomas Beecher, chairman of the WASC commission, indicated Madera High was granted a six-year accreditation “after a careful study of the visiting committee report, which noted many laudable aspects of the school.”

To our returning players and parents, thank you for your patience during these bizarre and unparalleled times. We know your daughters are eager to get back on the court and compete in the game that we all love. And we know that you are just as antsy to be a spectator and to be a witness to the joy that the world of sports brings into your daughter’s life. We, as their coaches, yearn for their energy, their exuberance for the game, and their silly antics amongst each other. The BEST thing about this forced break is that when your daughters finally enter our gyms again the excitement that has manifested over time will be incredibly powerful, and hopefully immensely motivating to make the most of every moment that we will have together!
And to our hopeful newbies – both parents and athletes. We are very much looking forward to meeting you and putting a face to the name that we have blindly been communicating with for the past few months. We also appreciate your fortitude and want you to know that we, like your daughters, are getting restless with our current guidelines and recommendations but are trusting that the health department of Madera, as well as our district athletic directors, have our best interests in mind. Our highest priority is the safety of your children – please always know that.
When we are finally given the green light, we are going to hit the ground running and we will need your support as we navigate through a potentially thrilling but anxiety filled season. The beginning is upon us – and there is a light at the end of this very long and dark tunnel that we have been struggling through!
See you soon!

Welcome to another exciting year of Boys Volleyball,
Boys Volleyball is becoming a highly recognized sport at all levels. This year, as any, is filled with promise, talent, and hard-working athletes and coaches. We welcome everyone aboard for an exciting year of volleyball.
Coyote Boys Volleyball provides an opportunity for student-athletes to learn and develop their skills. Our goal is not only to teach volleyball skills, it is to also teach athletes life skills they will use outside of volleyball. It is our experience that many lessons are learned in athletics, and WE BELIEVE our athletes will learn how to grasp success as well as setbacks, with class and dignity.
I would like to thank all of our athletes, parents, family, friends, supporters, community, and sports fans for your continued support and encouragement with our program.
Thank you,
Coach Jefferson

Madera High School’s Athletic Training and Sports Medicine program strive to promote excellence in healthcare for all MHS and visiting athletic programs. As a primary clinical site for CTE/ROP students, student-athletic trainers assist in the health and safety of our student-athletes on a daily basis.
As a Sports Medicine Program, its goal is to impact the health, wellness, and disease prevention of all student-athletes. Sports and athletics are instrumental with the guidance in modern society, and therefore as a program, we continue to make improvements in equipment, facilities, opportunities, and performance.
Prevention and rehabilitation of injuries which occur during sports practice, athletic competitions, and physical activities continue to be the focus of the Sports Medicine Program and as a result, athletes return from injury more quickly, careers last longer, and protective training and equipment are more effective.

The SJVOA Officials Memorial Scholarship was established to honor local officials: Mr.Katen, Mr. Penberthy, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Lemon and Mr. Medina. The scholarship is looking to recognize senior student-athletes who want to continue their education and to recognize student-athletes, for being just that, a student and an athlete. We fully realize that many student-athletes will never play another minute of team sports once this senior season is over. However, almost every student-athlete wants to have an opportunity to improve themselves and their future. We want to recognize them for their academic persistence, their athletic dedication, and their community involvement by awarding them this scholarship. We are looking for that student-athlete who fits this role. Someone who is a motivational player. Someone who is a leader. Someone who gives their team that spark when they need it. Yet, is someone who gives back to their school and community. These descriptions characterize our friends and fellow officials.
Deadlines – must be postmarked by: TBD.
