Athletics and Activities Update
Athletics Update
Welcome to 2021 and welcome to our first edition of Port Pride! This newsletter will recap our student accomplishments throughout the week and preview what we have coming up. The Port Pride newsletter for the remaining school year will look a little different than in the past. This year we will be highlighting our senior student athletes from our sports and giving you an update on their upcoming plans.
As we know this year and our athletics landscape does not look "normal", but we are proud of our athletes and the way they are competing and representing Port Washington High School! Our winter sports are in full gear, and we will be posting the start of our spring offerings in the weeks to come.
If you have you any questions feel free to reach out to me.
Go Pirates!

"Kaylee Doll is a senior on the Port Washington Girls Tennis Team. Kaylee played #1 singles for the last three seasons and served as team captain for the 2020 season. She is someone who has showcased a lot of grace, determination, and positivity on and off the court. Kaylee's most notable wins and matches of the season are taking 2nd place at the Cedarburg Bulldog Invitational at #1 doubles, beating West Bend West in a close 3rd set and playing a competitive match against Whitefish Bay to conclude the conference season. Throughout all four years of tennis, Kaylee has been a leader on our team and her presence and positive attitude will be missed!" - Coach Melonie Zielinski
