I would like to welcome you all to the Viper 2022-2023 Athletic Season. We would not be a great Viper Family without the support & commitment of our Athletes, Administration, Parents, & Coaches. The Varela Athletic Department is committed to provide our athletes with opportunities to compete in an equitable, sportsmanlike, and wholesome manner. I would like to personally invite the parents, students, faculty & community to become a Viper & support our young men and women on the fields & courts of their perspective sports.
Looking forward to seeing you and sharing our children’s special moments in both Academics & Athletics. So be sure to stop by the Athletic Office for your Viper Apparel or for any questions to be ansered.
Sincerely,
Ryan Schneider
