The mission of St. Stephen's
Academy is to establish a
Catholic environment for the
spiritual, physical, intellectual,
emotional, and social
development of each student.
ATTITUDE - Student must display a Christian attitude.
ACADEMICS - Academic eligibility is to ensure that every child is working to
his/her capability. It is a weekly check of academic performance and not an
arbitrary disciplinary action.
SPORTSMANSHIP - Students must display good sportsmanship at all times.
PARTICIPATION - Students must attend practices as designated by the coach or
they may be considered ineligible for a game.
St. Stephen’s will use the eligibility form approved by the Catholic Conference
Board.

Students must not regularly practice more than two evenings per week.

Students may not be in the gym without a coach. If the coach is not present, no
practice will be allowed. Students who knowingly break this rule may be
removed from the team.

The Booster Club helps to provide equipment for the school physical education
classes. The Booster Club also sponsors inter-scholastic sports. Students
participating in any sports will be required to obtain a health certificate from their
physician and give it to their coach who will turn these into the office to be filed.
All students who participate in the athletic programs must be insured under
student accident insurance covering that program.
