Athlete: Sound Mind, Sound Body
Montgomery Bell Academy promotes daily fitness as a vital component of health and well-being; athletics at MBA focus not only on physical health, but also on enduring elements of character. The boys learn to work together toward a common goal of excellence, pushing through obstacles and sacrificing personal ambition for the sake of the team, all while learning essential lessons of sportsmanship and fair play. Working seamlessly alongside the art and academic programs to create the breadth of an MBA education, the athletic program equips our boys to be champions, with a focus on lifelong wellness.
Through the variety of extracurricular offerings at MBA, including team sports, performing and visual arts, debate, clubs and activities, our students have many avenues to discover their own talents and gifts. By challenging himself to participate in a new sport or activity, a boy can also gain a deeper understanding of the dedication and commitment made by others who excel in that field. Team activities offer an additional opportunity for our students to form bonds of friendship that last a lifetime.
While many of our established programs have been set through our tradition of expertise in educating young men, our extracurricular offerings continue to expand in response to a range of student interests.

Mark Floyd, '16
Mark Floyd, the 2016 recipient of the Gentleman, Scholar, Athlete Award, attends Texas A&M University on a full NROTC scholarship. During his time on The Hill, Mark thoroughly immersed himself in the MBA experience, serving in student government, writing an outdoors column for the school paper, earning medals and other recognition for wrestling and trap and skeet, and serving as Service Project Manager for the Wounded Warrior Project fundraiser that resulted in nearly $10,000 in donations to that organization. Mark credits his dedicated teachers, a broad educational experience in and outside the classroom and time management skills learned at MBA for preparing him for success at the university level. Mark had this to share about the school “MBA is a special place. The level of intellect, integrity, honor, and leadership at MBA is unparalleled, and I am proud to have had the honor of attending such a phenomenal institution. There is no other place like The Hill."
