Message from the Athletic Director

Since 1890, when St. Bede Academy opened its' doors, a rich and proud tradition of interscholastic competition was born. Those traditions continue with 17 sports that are offered during the three Illinois High School Association seasons. Many of our programs are three level; Freshmen, Sophomore, and Varsity, while others offer two levels; Junior-Varsity, and Varsity. The St. Bede Academy athletic staff seeks to provide many opportunities for participation for our student-athletes. The high percentage of student participation in our programs continues to be a great source of pride. We are very pleased to have expanded our athletic department with the addition of a Wrestling program for the 2006-2007 school year, when a new tradition begins. I welcome you to the St. Bede Academy website. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 815-223-3140 ext 204 or by email at msiebert@st-bede.com.
