Dress Code All athletes must abide by the school dress code at all times, unless authorized by the athletic director or headmaster. Hooper Academy student athletes not only represent themselves, but our school, students, administration, teachers, and community and are expected to always be dressed and carry themselves in a respectable manner. Administrative Policy Tryouts The program head coach with the assistance of the coaching staff shall present the athletic director and headmaster a written evaluation process. This will aid in the justification process when limiting the number of participants during tryouts. The evaluation process and requirements need to be discussed with all athletes. During the tryout period, athletes should be given equal attention with progress of skill, ability, and attitude documented. This information is valuable when either student or parent expresses concern. Scheduling All scheduling will be done by the athletic director and the head coach from each sport. Attendance at Team Practices A student must practice with a team in order to represent that team in competition. Athletes must be at all practices, meetings, workouts, film sessions, etc unless excused by their coach. After Practice and Games Athletes are not allowed to linger about the school after practice sessions, games or return from away games. Coaches need to make sure all athletes are gone before they leave campus. Supervision Supervision of all athletics by the assigned coach or coaches is necessary in order to reduce the risk of injury and insure the proper handling of any situations that may arise. All athletic events, practices, meetings, film sessions, workouts, conditioning, etc. must be supervised by a coach of Hooper Academy. The following guidelines should be observed: Proper supervision of any game, practice, meeting, workout, etc. requires the physical presence of an authorized adult during all times of the activity. Emergency situations (EX. Injury, dehydration, etc.) require the suspension of the activity until proper supervision can return. Primary attention must be given to the emergency. Travel Policy All athletes will be required to use Hooper Academy provided transportation.

Two-Sport Participation Athletes can participate in multiple sports. If the two sports are during the same athletic season, the coaches for each sport must agree. An athlete cannot quit one sport in order to practice with another sport. If an athlete quits a sport he/she must wait until that sport is completed before practicing or beginning another sport, unless the coach of the sport that was quit submits a written note to the athletic director. Days with No School In a case where it has been determined by the administration that it is not safe for students to come to school, athletic practices or meetings will not be allowed unless it is cleared with the athletic director or headmaster. Junior High Athletes Participating in Varsity Athletics Junior High athletes will be allowed to play on varsity teams with the head coach first getting approval from the athletic director and headmaster. If a junior high athlete is allowed to play on a varsity team, then he/she will be considered a member of that team and is allowed to play wherever and whenever the head coach sees fit. Strength and Conditioning In school – In Season All in season workout programs will be designed and lead by the head coach of each sport. It is the responsibility of the head coach to make sure he/she is conditioning and training their athletes at the correct level/intensity so they will be able to compete on game day. All athletes will be required to participate in the in-season workout program for their sport. In-season workouts should be treated just like practices as far as rules go for player participation. In school – Off Season All in school – off season workout programs will be designed and lead by the head coach of each sport, with the help of any assistant coaches that the head coach deems necessary. Understanding that The Hooper Academy Athletic Department is trying to build consistent championship caliber athletic programs, it is mandatory for athletes to participate in off season workout programs. Any athlete participating in another sport while one sport is in off-season workouts will at minimum be required to participate in the in-season sport’s workouts. If the athlete and both coaches agree then the athlete is allowed to participate in the off-season sport’s workouts as well. Summer Workouts All varsity athletes (boys and girls, 9-12 grades) will be required to participate in a summer workout program. These workouts must be led by a member of The Hooper Academy Athletic Staff. Prior to school ending each athlete will receive a summer workout schedule with the total number of workout opportunities on the schedule. All varsity girl athletes must complete a total of 18 workouts during the summer, and all varsity boy athletes must complete a total of 24 workouts during the summer. Any athlete not completing the summer workout program will not be allowed to participate in varsity athletics at Hooper Academy, unless there are extenuating circumstances approved by the athletic director and/or headmaster. If such circumstances arise, the athlete will not be able to participate in any athletic competition until he/she has made up all missed workouts. Individual summer skill development camps, summer team camps, summer play dates, etc. will count as workouts as long as they are approved in advance by the head coach of that sport and the athletic director. Each day at a camp or play date will count as one summer workout. Summer transfer students will not be required to make the set number of summer workouts, they will however be required to begin attending summer workouts as soon as they are registered and have a current and updated physical on file. The number of workouts that must be completed by each transfer student will be determined by their head coach and the athletic director. Junior High athletes that will be on a Varsity Team will be required to participate in summer workouts. Sportsmanship Hooper Academy will not tolerate and/or condone demonstrations of poor professionalism or sportsmanship at any extracurricular activity. Parents/patrons will not approach coaches, school officials, or athletic officials before, during, or after any competition in a manner that could be deemed inappropriate. If a meeting is needed, it may be scheduled through the athletic department for a later date and time. Any person guilty of unsportsmanlike involvement with players, coaches, athletic officials, school officials and/or other fans before, during, or after any Hooper Academy event may be fined $500.00 by The Academy and will be denied admittance to athletic events for an indeterminate amount of time. AISA THE AISA WILL NOT TOLERATE AND/OR CONDONE DEMONSTRATIONS OF POOR PROFESSIONALISM OR SPORTSMANSHIP, ESPECIALLY DISPLAYS WHICH LEAD TO ALTERCATIONS AND/OR FORFEITURE.

Hooper Academy serves students from kindergarten through twelfth grade and is a proud member of the Alabama Independent School Association (AISA). Mission & History Navigate... Mission To provide a balanced and quality curriculum, which allows each student the opportunity to achieve full potential and maximize mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual growth. Students will be provided opportunities to develop self-confidence through knowledge, applied skills, and desirable character traits acquired in a sound academic environment. Philosophy The philosophy of the West Montgomery Educational Foundation (Hooper Academy) is that it is necessary to provide a well-balanced complete educational opportunity for its students by maintaining an atmosphere of discipline, safety, spiritual awareness and educational excellence. History In December 1969, a group of families met in Snowdoun, Alabama to discuss opening a splinter school for Lowndes Academy. In February of 1970, that request was denied. On February 10, 1970, it was decided that a new private school was going to be built. In March of 1970, a number of committees were formed to take on different tasks in completing the school. The land was purchased from ALFA, formerly known as Farm Bureau. One hundred and twelve families wanted to start a private school, so the board set a number of 150 families needed to enroll to start the school. Frank Hawthorne was the lawyer for the school and made many accomplishments for the school's success. On July 11, 1970, Mr. Fred Hooper agreed to allow the school to be named after him. Glenn Lassiter started to work on the football field in July of 1970. The school started on September 14, 1970, with two hundred and seventeen students enrolled. The headmaster was Herman Keeney, and there were eight graduating seniors that year. Hooper started with first through twelfth grades, and kindergarten was added later. The editor of the Cavalcade was Patsy Davis. The Green Scene was the school's newspaper and was later renamed Hoof Prints. In June, the colors were decided to be green and white, and orange was added later. Mrs. Olene Williams promoted the colt mascot and a competition was held in August of 1970. As a result of that competition, the new mascot was the Hooper Colt. Mr. Fred William Hooper On October 6, 1897, Fred William Hooper was born in a small rural town in Cleveland, Georgia. In his early years he worked on the family farm. He attended one semester in high school in Clermont. Woodlawn, a nearby school, was in desperate need of a teacher. Mr. Hooper passed the State Teachers' Test and became that teacher. With an adventuresome spirit and a realization of the world, he bought a herd of wild horses and trained them. This was only one of the many things in which he was successful. He went through many phases of work - working as a barber, carpenter, concrete form builder, a boxer, a contractor and as a steel mill laborer - to mention only a few. Realizing that he must draw the line somewhere, in 1937 Mr. Hooper bought 5,000 acres of farmland near Montgomery and stocked it with purebred Hereford cattle. The Circle H Farm, as it became known, produced a number of champion bulls and prize-winning livestock. Mr. Hooper bought a racehorse, Royal Prince, who won forty nine out of fifty starts. This prompted him to buy a horse in 1943 - Hoop Jr. A dream became a reality in 1945 when Hoop Jr. won the Kentucky Derby. Susan's Girl, another of Mr. Hooper's famous horses, became the leading money winning mare in American racing history and was three times an Eclipse winner. In keeping with his interests - livestock and construction - Fred Hooper built Hooper Stockyards in Montgomery. He moved his racing stables to Ocala, Florida, where he and his wife, Wanda, resided until his death on August 4, 2000. We give our thanks to Mr. Fred William Hooper for founding our great school, Hooper Academy!

Hooper Academy serves students from kindergarten through twelfth grade and is a proud member of the Alabama Independent School Association (AISA). Alabama CHOOSE Act Navigate... Alabama has passed the Choose Act for students beginning in the 2025-2026 school year. What this means for you is that, depending on your income, you may qualify to have your tuition to Hooper paid by the state. The plan for the Choose Act is to benefit some lower income families for the first two years. After the first two years, it will be open to everyone no matter your income. In theory, this means that starting in the 2027-2028 school year most of your child’s tuition could be covered by the state. We are very excited about the opportunity this will present all of our families in the near future. https://classwallet.com/alchoose/ If you have received an email stating you will be receiving CHOOSE ACT funding, please email Rachel Jones at rjones@hooperacademy.org letting her know.
