Mission Statement
The staff, volunteers, and coaches of Albemarle School take great pride in our school and our students. We encourage all students to participate in extracurricular activities, and will support our students in any way possible. It is our goal to have quality athletic teams with respect for themselves and those around them. We believe that team loyalty and unity breed success. A student-athlete is a student first and an athlete second. Academic success is the ultimate goal.
