Athletics

Gulliver Preparatory's sports program consists of thirty-five teams, supported by two cheerleading squads. Over the years, Gulliver's teams have won district, regional, sectional, state runner-up and state championships, as well as numerous conference championships. Gulliver's success in athletics is primarily a recent phenomenon, and the school has come under fire for offering athletic scholarships to students, reducing the athletic opportunities available to students paying full tuition. Gulliver has an athletic rivalry with cross-town Ransom Everglades.
