Dear Golden Bear Fans:

Welcome to the official web site for the Upper Arlington High School Athletic Program. I appreciate you visiting our site and sincerely thank our sponsors The Arlington Bank, The Ohio Orthopedic Center for Excellence, and Nicholson Builders. We have a very proud tradition of athletics at our high school and I hope you find this site to be very useful as you learn about our programs and traditions.

Athletic teams at Upper Arlington are consistently competitive on the conference, state and even the national level. The tradition of excellence associated with our athletic programs is due, in part, to the winning heritage which has been established over the last 80+ years. More importantly, the success of these programs can be measured by the preparation they have given student-athletes who, after graduation from Upper Arlington, go on to become organizational leaders, outstanding citizens and true team players among their professional peers.

Upper Arlington's strong winning tradition is alive and well today. Each season our teams compete at the highest level and to date our athletic programs have won 117 State Championships and numerous conference titles as members of the Ohio Capital Conference.

I hope you enjoy your visit to our site and that your experience with Upper Arlington High School Athletics is a positive one. Each season our coaches and student athletes work extremely hard to represent our community and school district with pride, excitement, and sportsmanship. I encourage you to come to game and enjoy the Golden Bear experience. Thanks for your support and GO BEARS!

Sincerely,

Michael Schaefer Jodi Palmer
