Athletic Philosophy:
Alix-MAC School believes in and supports athletics as a well-rounded opportunity to further enhance the offerings towards a holistic school curriculum. We believe that athletics are an important aspect of a person’s life and that they become an opportunity for students to appreciate and understand sport and a healthy lifestyle. We do this through the offering of both intramural and extra-curricular programs. Although we do see athletics as an important aspect of a student’s school life, our first priority will focus on academics. As such, we hope that our students will become strong student athletes with academics taking precedence over athletics.
It is a privilege for students to participate in extracurricular athletics. Participation is voluntary and is not a requirement, nor an entitlement. Therefore, extra time and effort are required of those who participate. Since the reputation of the school is often judged by its extra-curricular programs, high standards must be maintained. Those who earn the privilege of representing Alix MAC in extracurricular athletics are expected to accept greater responsibilities as school citizens.
Participation in extracurricular athletics is open to all students provided they meet the general requirements as outlined in this handbook, and any requirements specific to the activity of their choice.
