Interscholastic Athletics (Extra-Curricular Activities)

The West Contra Costa Unified School District provides students with the opportunity to compete in quality athletic competition at the high school level. We believe that athletic participation is an integral part of the total educational program at Hercules High School. We provide experiences beyond the school classroom curriculum where participants learn sportsmanship, teamwork, commitment and leadership. Student-athletes and coaches should always conduct themselves in a manner that brings respect and integrity to themselves, the school and our community.

Hercules High School competes in the TCAL for all sports. The TCAL is composed of Salesian, Albany, De Anza, El Cerrito, John Swett, Kennedy, Pinole Valley, Richmond, St. Joseph/Notre Dame, St. Mary’s, St. Patrick’/St. Vincent, Vallejo and Bethel High Schools.  In the TCAL Hercules fields teams in Boys and Girls Cross Country, Tennis, Volleyball, Basketball, Soccer, Track & Field, Swimming, Golf, Water Polo, Boys Football, Girls Softball, and Boys Baseball.  In total there are 12 boy’s teams and 12 girls’ team.
