The mission of the Allen Academy Athletic Department is for student-athletes to build life skills by working hard towards their goals, value teamwork, and being accountable. When challenged, these characteristics provide an opportunity to achieve excellence in academics and athletics. This is done by developing physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy lifestyles. Which creates “Ram Tough” teams and individuals.
 
- Adrian Adams, Athletic Director


 

Philosophy

Interscholastic sports are one of several programs and experiences available at Allen Academy at the middle and upper school level to assist students in their personal growth and development. Allen Academy is dedicated to teaching life skills within an athletic setting. As such, athletics can help promote the acceptance of hard work, loyalty, and dedication to tasks, convey the importance of teamwork and team unity, develop the necessity of establishing and working toward goals, and encourage the principles relating to sportsmanship and fair play. The Allen Academy coaching staff embraces the opportunity to develop Allen Academy student-athletes that will become better people. Ultimately, building meaningful experiences through participation in sports as a Ram!
