Welcome from Athletic Director Matt Lawless
August 17, 2012 WELCOME TO CambridgeBears.com!
Cambridge Bears Fans,
Welcome to the official website of Cambridge High School Athletics! On behalf of the Cambridge High School Athletic Department, Cambridge Athletic Association, student-athletes, coaches and staff, I would like to personally thank each of you for your dedication and commitment to Cambridge High School Athletics. Over the past year we have been working tirelessly to provide the Cambridge community with the highest quality athletic experience. After countless hours and efforts, we proudly welcome you to www.CambridgeBears.com and thank you for helping us celebrate our inaugural season.
Cambridge High School will proudly serve as the newest member of the Fulton County School system and the Georgia High School Athletic Association. Fulton County Schools, GHSA and the leadership of the Cambridge High School, coaches and staff will work together to ensure that our student-athletes will not only be successful on the playing field but in the classroom as well. Cambridge High School will provide numerous tutorial programs, support systems, and a graduation coach to ensure the overall success of our student-athletes. We implore you to speak with our highly qualified coaches and staff or visit our guidance office to inquire about the numerous academic programs and courses offered to our student-athletes.
Our student-athletes will also have access to top-notch facilities that can be viewed under the “Facilities” tab on our website. These facilities include one artificial turf field lined for multi-sport use, two full size gyms, a natural-grass soccer pitch and practice field, an all-weather track, a Cross Country trail, five full tennis courts, an athletic and academic weight room, and a large sports training facility. We truly feel as though our athletic resources are second to none, and we aspire to grow these facilities and resources year after year.
As Athletic Director, I constantly reflect on my own experience as a former high school and college athlete and recall the impact that my athletic endeavors have had on me both personally and professionally. I truly believe that some of life’s greatest lessons are learned on the playing field. Accordingly, sportsmanship and integrity are virtues that will define our athletic teams at Cambridge High School. Our coaches and players will practice these ideals on a daily basis. I would like to personally thank you in advance for also modeling these qualities for our student-athletes.
As a brand new high school, the future growth of our athletic
programs truly rests upon the involvement of our coaches, staff,
and--perhaps most importantly--our community. We encourage all
Cambridge Bears fans to get involved in the development and success
of all of our sports programs. For more information on the
Cambridge Athletic Association and how you can help to share our
unique vision for Cambridge Bears Athletics, please click on the

“Inside Athletics” tab. You too can play an important
part in “Changing the Game in 2012” at Cambridge High
School.
Once again, we thank you for your continued support and for your
involvement in our student-athletes’ academic and athletic
success. We look forward to building a winning tradition both on
the field and in the classroom at Cambridge High School. Thank you
again, and I hope to see you at our various athletic events this
season!
Go Bears!
