Humanics is based on the understanding that all people regardless of ethnicity, color, creed, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or upbringing has extraordinary potential. To encourage that potential, Beverly High School has developed an academic program, bolstered by, among other co-curricular activities, a tradition of sport (athletics) as both physical activity and an intellectual discipline. Through humanics and Beverly High School's Athletic Program, student-athletes are prepared to think critically and to acknowledge their relation to the larger society.

Beverly High School's athletic tradition is firmly rooted in the concept that sports are educational, offering a co-curricular opportunity for the development of the students' whole being, enabling them to be leaders in service to humanity. The athletic program is an integrated part of the high school and school system's total curriculum. Here athletics interact with academics; they are co-curricular, not extra-curricular. Unlike at other high schools, coaches at Beverly High School do more than coach. As faculty members, they also teach in the classroom and their "classrooms" extend to the playing field. In their role as teacher-coaches, they work with student-athletes to help develop them to their fullest potential.

At Beverly High School, in particular, athletics are truly a unique educational experience. Players on the field are more than just players; they are deeply involved in an educational experience that stresses learning life long lessons from sport, becoming leaders, and being role models.
