Welcome to Foxcroft Academy Athletics
Foxcroft Academy's commitment to excellence extends beyond the classroom to the playing fields, where the school has a long and proud tradition in athletics. The special school spirit of Foxcroft is derived in part from the pride, sportsmanship and enthusiasm on the playing fields of the Academy. The results speak for themselves. State Champions State Finals Big East Champions Eastern Maine Champions Eastern Maine Finals Penobscott Valley Conference Champions Along with winning championships, the classical ideal of the sound mind in the sound body remains very much the guiding principle of athletics at Foxcroft. Each student's physical development is an important element of the curriculum not only because a sound physical condition is necessary for mental and spiritual well being, but also because an awareness of the importance of exercise for life-long health should be developed in adolescence. Finally, sports provide a unique opportunity for molding character and building lasting friendships, and for the great but simple pleasure of play. Athletics and physical development are an integral part of the total learning environment, where the teacher is seen as coach, the coach as teacher. About 40 percent of the faculty coach at least one sport. The ability of the faculty to serve in a variety of roles and to engage students in a common endeavor outside the classroom contributes to the uniqueness and special quality of the Foxcroft experience.
