Cascade Athletics - Mountaineer Style!
 
 

Athletics are an important part of student life at Cascade Middle School. A large proportion of our students participate in extra-curricular sports during the school year, either as a part of a Cascade team or through Bend Parks and Rec, MBSEF, or other local sports organizations.

Sporting opportunities offered through Cascade Middle School are often the first time that some students participate in organized sports. In order to help students and families understand the registration process, we're giving you some advance information for the 2009 - 2010 athletic season.
