Interscholastic Sports
The athletics program at Rocky Mount Academy encourages students to be doers rather than spectators. Athletics promote competition, physical conditioning and cooperation, and are an important component of student life. By participating on any of the 28 athletic teams, our students learn discipline, teamwork and sportsmanship.
At Rocky Mount Academy more than 90% of students in grades seven through twelve participate on one or more athletic teams. Many of our student-athletes have distinguished themselves in regional, state and national competition. We have had scores of student-athletes garner All-Conference, Conference Player of the Year and All-State honors. Through hard work and determination we have had student-athletes who have gone on to participate in NCAA sports on the Division I, Division II and Division III levels.
In recent years, our athletic teams have successfully competed in conference and state competitions. The school is a member of the North Carolina Independent Schools Athletics Association (NCISAA) and the Eastern Plains Independent Conference (EPIC). We participate in the 2A classification in state playoff competition. Each year the Eagles are competitive in Wachovia Cup points, winning the cup in 2004-2005.
Physical Education
Our Physical Education program encourages students to be active. Pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade students participate in Physical Education on a weekly basis. First through eighth grade participate in PE four to five times a week, taught by experienced PE faculty members. Activities center around motor skills development, sportsmanship, teamwork and skills development in specific sports. Small groups are rotated so that each person can experience different activities such as team sports as well as individual sports. We have recently begun participating in The President's Challenge Physical Activity & Fitness Awards Program.
