WELCOME TO THE
PANTHER LAIR!

The philosophy of the Saint Frances Academy athletic program continues the legacy of Mother Mary Elizabeth Lange through the demonstration of academic excellence, character building, self-discipline, teamwork, and charity. Inter-scholastic sports are tools to further advance these goals through the representation of our school in athletic competition. The coaches strive at all levels to develop and display the attitudes of good sportsmanship, citizenship, and loyalty to the team and school.

Every scholar should have the opportunity to become involved in the athletic program, if not as an athlete, then as a valuable assistant serving as a manager or statistician.

ATHLETIC AMBASSADORS

Scholar-athletes are the unofficial ambassadors of Saint Frances Academy. Their dress, language, and behavior are a reflection of what is taught and practiced on our campus. Considering such, all scholars are expected to model themselves to reflect the mission, history, and standards of our school. Any scholar-athlete who does not adhere to our code of conduct or standards is subject to disciplinary action.

WINNING FORMULA

At Saint Frances Academy, we define a winning formula as scholar-athletes having fun through participation, learning sport-specific skills as well as life skills, demonstrating sportsmanship, and conducting themselves always with class and character.

SPORTSMANSHIP

In all games played scholars display proper respect for each other and their opponent. Win or lose, they always do so graciously and with dignity. Our scholars are respectful of all fans, officials, players, and coaches regardless of how they conduct themselves.
