Athletics Mission & Vision

Vision Statement

The Fontbonne Hall Athletic Department views interscholastic sports as an opportunity for student participation in an organized and competitive environment. While the ultimate goal of athletic competition is to know victory, the achievement of objectives such as fair play, sportsmanship, skill acquisition, and work ethic cannot be overlooked. Winning traditions are founded upon the concepts of pride, respect, dedication, character, and loyalty. Coaches, athletes, and parents alike must strive to ensure that the athletic teams at Fontbonne represent themselves in a Christian manner that is conducive to both competitive spirit and good sportsmanship.
