Welcome to the Quality Education Academy Athletic Department section of the school website!
I hope you find these pages informative and worthwhile. I appreciate the opportunity to share with you a little about our philosophy of athletics and why they exist at Quality Education Schools and also to provide you with useful information such as game schedules, team records, locations, rosters, booster club, athletic store, and directions to the various schools we compete against as well as other information as you follow the progress of the Fighting Pharoahs.

School and Athletic Missions Complement Each Other
Quality Education Academy’s mission is to edify young men and women in their personal commitment to beleif in God, yourself, and higher education. Our young people learn to make independent decisions with critical thoughts in an enviroment which prepares them academically, socially, emotionally and physically to live out their faith as servant leaders in every area of society. The value of athletic competition relates directly to the fulfillment of our mission.
Athletics provide an opportunity to grow in the manifestation of Godly character as the student-athlete faces situations within the team and within competition that are representative of situations to be faced in life. Each individual team member, from the starter to the team manager, will be challenged in numerous areas over the course of a season. Challenges of selflessness, diligence, self-control, patience, courage, perseverance, humility and submission that are experienced in athletics, translate directly to real life during and after high school. As any good coach will tell you, one of the keys to success on the athletic field is a solid game plan. God’s game plan, His Word, is as good as you can get!

Athletics is a Privilege
Involvement in athletics at Quality Education Schools is a privilege - a privilege offered by the governing board to our school and a privilege to participate in by our students. As a member of an athletic team, each student-athlete will have achieved a position of accomplishment, honor and responsibility. Each student-athlete serves as a “role model” for others (natural family, school family and community) whether they choose that position or not. Our student-athletes are highly visible in the school community, local community and cities around the state as they travel and compete. Faculty, staff and students alike are all challenged to a high level of conduct and responsibility as members of the QE Schools family but student athletes are challenged to an even higher standard with greater expectations for conduct, performance and commitment as ambassadors of QE Schools on the court or field of play.

Student-Athletes
Notice also that members of our athletic teams are not known as just “athletes”, but as “student-athletes”. Academics have a priority over athletics with each student athlete required to maintain specific academic standards(over and beyond what the state requires) to remain an active member of any team.

Athletic Competition - Middle School
Athletic competition will provide as many students as possible the opportunity to experience healthy sports competition at a level beyond what is provided through physical education and intramural activity. To accommodate the number of middle school student athletes, up to two teams may exist in a particular sport.  Programs at the middle school level serve as the “feeder-system” for future high school and will not be ran seperately and all athletic teams, events, meetings, camps, clinics, and meetings will be over seen or conducted by the athletic director and the high school head coaches.

Athletic Competition - High School
Sports at the high school level are very competitive and winning is an objective of each team. Because of the highly competitive nature and limited roster space, every student that might like to be a member may not have that opportunity. Pre-season tryouts may be held in order to evaluate students who desire to be a part of a team with some hopeful students being denied that opportunity for that season. It is our desire to field a Varsity as well as a Junior Varsity team in each of our high school sports.

Discipleship Coaching
Quality Education Academy is very proud of the men and women who serve as coaches for our middle school and high school student-athletes. These talented and experienced adults realize the importance of the mentoring relationship, which needs to exist between a coach and the student athlete. The student athlete is more important than athletics. Our coaches are teachers dedicated to making the athletic experience as successful for the student athlete as possible. Your prayer for and support of this group is appreciated.
Once again, thank you for visiting our website. I pray that you have found it insightful, informative and helpful.
