As the Soccer Institute at Montverde Academy heads into the final quarter of the academic year, over 120 SIMA student-athletes deserve recognition for the third quarter honor roll status. Head Coach and SIMA Director Mike Potempa stresses the importance and value of academics, especially in an athletic setting. 

Coach Potempa strongly believes in the whole mission of a student-athlete with the emphasis on the necessity of focus in the classroom before a dedication to the soccer field. With that mindset, 76% of SIMA student-athletes in the Montverde Academy Upper School achieved third quarter honor roll recognition. Their names and honors can be found below. 

Like other schools in the area, Montverde Academy looks to finish their academic year under a virtual learning setting. Coach Potempa doesn’t want his student-athletes to take their foot off the gas yet but finish the school year stronger than ever.

“The focus of the SIMA Program will always revolve around the term ‘student-athlete’ with ‘student’ as the priority ahead of athletic accomplishment,” said SIMA Director and Head Coach Mike Potempa. “As we continue our 360 Virtual Training Program, we remain concentrated on our mission to finish strong in the classroom. As a staff, we are extremely pleased with the academic performance of our student-athletes and we look forward to encouraging the boys to the end of the fourth quarter.”
