A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame visiting campus to share their experience and offer advice is not something that happens very often! La Jolla High School was visited by NFL legend James Lofton.
He was a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Raiders, Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, and Los Angeles Rams in the National Football League. He amassed more than 14,000 receiving yards and 70 touchdowns during his career.
San Diego Unified School District is committed to excellence in athletics as part of a larger commitment to excellence in education. That excellence also includes commitment to the physical and emotional well-being, social development of student-athletes as well as the development of their sense of citizenship, dedication to sportsmanship and fair play, the development of individual and team skills, the exertion of best effort, the will to win, and general conduct that brings credit to San Diego Unified and is a source of pride and enthusiasm for all members of the San Diego community.
Ultimately, the mission of the athletics program is to engage as many students as possible, to elevate the spirit and culture of the school, and stimulate the best effort of all who are associated with San Diego Unified. Through the mission of its athletic programs, we will unite the students, faculty, staff, alumni and community in a common and shared experience.
