Dear Sugar Bowl Academy Community,

We are closing in on the end of another outstanding competition season.  Across every team, our athletes have demonstrated grit, grace, and courage, and the results speak for themselves.  We are looking forward to championship events and further showing that Sugar Bowl Academy athletes are at the top!  We are already preparing to make next year just as successful.  We are scheduled to launch our 2027 team programs on Thursday, March 12, and we are projecting another full roster.  Returning families are encouraged to secure their spot as soon as possible and take advantage of early pricing.  Again for 2027, registration will include the athlete’s unrestricted season pass, team jacket, and team hoodie.  Please look for the full 2027 team registration details later this week.  We are also currently processing enrollment for the 2026–2027 school year.  If your family will be applying for need-based financial aid, please begin the application as soon as possible if you have not already done so. Applications for merit-based financial aid are also open. If you plan to submit a merit-based financial aid application but have not completed it, please send an email to admin@sbacademy.org letting us know so we can hold a space for your application.  Note that both need-based and merit-based financial aid applications will close on March 30, 2026.  We look forward to seeing our athletes represent Sugar Bowl Academy at the championship level this season, and doing it again in 2027!

Sincerely,
Stephen
Executive Director

Academics

It was a productive week for our student-athletes both in the classroom and on the hill. As we approach the final four weeks of Quarter 3, our staff has been having continuous discussions regarding how to best support student-athletes as they continue to balance high level academics and athletics. A special thanks to Tahoe Forest Health Services for an outstanding professional development presentation to our staff on mental health support for adolescents. 

Schoolwide Read: Accountable

Students should have read pages 252-310 (stop after the “Angry” chapter in Part 10) for our Monday Homeroom discussion of Accountable. 

Middle School

Middle school at Sugar Bowl Academy is dynamic, challenging, exhausting and fun. Everyday in the halls and in the classroom these students are engaged, energetic and excited to learn. This would not be possible without our amazing middle school faculty: Mike Wyerman and Emmet Fucigna. These two teachers show up tirelessly for our Middle Schoolers, pushing them to maximize their time in the classroom in a diverse range of subjects. A massive thank you to Mike and Emmet!
