"Through the Mount Ida athletic program, we promote leadership, citizenship and moral integrity.  Over the years, we have assembled a coaching staff that truly supports the development of the mind, body and spirit, fostering the emergence of tomorrow's leaders.  We view athletics as a forum in which our players can grow personally, and we integrate athletics into our community by placing our players in important positions of responsibility - as residential assistants, community project leaders and active and achieving participants in the classroom."

-Dr. Jacqueline Palmer, Athletic Director
