Griffin Athletics
High School
We believe in developing strong student-athletes.
Our student athletes are offered opportunities to participate in 12 boys’ and girls’ interscholastic sports. There is a growing tradition of winning that matches the academic excellence of our student-athletes. TPAA has won 15 Heritage League Championships and counting.
The Academy is affiliated with the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section. We are a member of the competitive Heritage League, composed mostly of small schools. We are governed by all league and CIF constitutional bylaws in order to uphold integrity and ethical behaviors.

Game cancellations and rescheduling are managed by the athletic director in coordination with coaches, officials, and school administration. Decisions are based on factors such as weather conditions, facility availability, and other unforeseen circumstances.
If hazardous conditions arise—like lightning, extreme heat, or high winds—the athletic director has the final authority to cancel or postpone a game. Whenever possible, decisions are made at least 2–3 hours before game time to ensure timely communication.
In the event of a cancellation or postponement:
- The athletic director will immediately notify the opposing team’s athletic director, game officials, coaching staff (who will inform players and parents/guardians), transportation services, and school administration.
- For rescheduling, the athletic director will coordinate with the opposing school to set a new date and time.
- Once rescheduled, all parties—including officials, transportation, and administration—will be updated.
- The athletic director will also document the reason for cancellation, the revised game date (if applicable), and a communication log for accountability and future reference.
