Milton Hershey School Spartans Compete in 2023 Winter Sports

Milton Hershey School student athletes are representing the Spartans for the 2022-23 winter sports season. Student athletes in all winter sports across campus including basketball, wrestling, ice hockey, and swimming are learning new skills, growing their character inside and outside of practice, and enjoying the MHS community’s commitment to cheering them on.

We asked a few of our senior Spartans, who are participating in one of their final sports seasons, about their experiences. Athletics allows them the opportunity to practice their leadership skills and build confidence in themselves, while learning how to cheer on their teammates.

Read what they have to say to understand what makes being a Spartan athlete so special.
