SIMA Student-Athletes See Success in the Classroom

The first quarter grading period has ended and the Soccer Institute at Montverde Academy (SIMA) had 98 student-athletes qualify for Academic Honor Roll including Summa Cum Laude and Magna Cum Laude recognition. 

These students ranged from ninth grade to post graduate and received a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher in the first grading period of the school year. With 33 Advanced Placement (AP) classes offered, students have the ability to study their passions at a higher level while preparing them for college level courses.

"I am extremely pleased to see our level of academic achievement in the classroom by the SIMA participants in the first quarter.  It shows that we are truly living our developmental concept and believing in the term ‘STUDENT-athlete,’” said SIMA Head Coach Mike Potempa.

Some of these students come from around the world and are learning English in the English as a Second Language (ESL) program while taking their other classes. 

"I am also particularly proud of those who have made the Honor Roll List and are currently in our ESL Program,” said Potempa. It is never easy to begin learning another language full time with the highest of expectations and a full academic workload in English alone. This takes tremendous concentration and dedication in the classroom and in preparation."

Coach Potempa had some words of encouragement and praise concerning his team's accomplishments after a large number of SIMA student-athletes made honor roll in the first quarter:

"To all of our SIMA Honor Roll students, I would like to say congratulations for your hard work in the classroom - keep up the great work!"
