The philosophy of the Suffolk Public Schools Athletic Department is to strive at all times to represent the highest ideals in life. Because of its high visibility, athletics has the unique opportunity to be a positive influence on the lives of everyone associated with our programs: student-athletes, other students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends. The top priority will always be the student-athlete. The ultimate goal is to provide each student-athlete with the tools necessary to be successful in life.

Starting the 2023-2024 school year, all media, multimedia, journalists, reporters, bloggers, vloggers, social media channels, athletic promoters or individuals, or companies seeking access to an SPS event for recording, photography, videography, reporting, etc., must have applied for and received an SPS media credential.

Please submit your request to receive credentials for access to Suffolk Public Schools athletic events using the Suffolk Public Schools Athletic Event Credentials Application. Each person attending must have and wear an SPS media pass. Passes are issued by the Office of Communication and Community Engagement, and will be given separately for the Fall, Winter and Spring sports seasons. New credential requests must be submitted and approved for each school year.

When a  person completes the online application, they are screened through the National Sex Offender Registry before being approved for a credential. NO ONE  will be granted a credential without going through this screening.
