The Athletic Department is committed to making athletics an integral part of the total educational program of Duncanville ISD. Athletics provides one of the finest ways by which today's young people can develop into responsible men and women. It teaches fair play, sportsmanship, understanding, appreciation of teamwork, and the fact that hard work leads to success.

Currently, Duncanville ISD has approximately 2100 students participating in athletics in grades seven through twelve. Under the leadership of Athletic Director Cathy Self-Morgan and Assistant Athletic Director Chris Anderson, a seventy-five position staff includes coaches, athletic trainers, and support personnel to provide the guidance necessary to administer this successful program.

Programs offered for Duncanville students include seventh and eighth grade football, basketball, volleyball, track, softball, baseball, golf, swimming,  tennis, and soccer. Football, basketball, volleyball, track, cross country, baseball, softball, soccer, swimming, golf, and tennis are offered in grades nine through twelve.
