From the Athletic Director ………………

It is our belief at Oak Mountain Academy that a strong and competitive athletic program is paramount for a successful school. The Athletic Department will encourage and support broad participation from as many boys and girls as possible, whose teams will compete without sacrificing sportsmanship, scholarship, and the general welfare of the student. However, to have a successful athletic program, there must be a collaborative partnership between the administration, faculty and athletic department which consists of a mutual respect for each other’s role in the total school experience for our students. I want to emphasize that we are working with student-athletes and will always stress that “student” comes before “athlete”. If an individual player does not focus on his/her scholastic responsibilities (acceptable grades and attendance), the student does not have the privilege to showcase his or her athletic talent.

Our athletic department mission is to offer all our athletes a positive and rewarding experience while fostering strong character development. We will focus on maintaining a healthy balance between:

• Quality coaching;
• Development of school pride;
• Building competitive teams;
• Family involvement; and
• Community support.

Information about specific sports seasons and sport teams is located on the athletic schedules page and/or specific sports team page on the Athletics menu.

Sincerely,

Bob Honeycutt

Athletic Director
