Adam C. Mathieson, M.Ed., CAA

It has been a special day for Mathieson to conclude his 26th year of serving, mentoring and teaching kids after growing up in Eastern Washington rooting for the Hawks and going to games with his family in the Kingdome.

As an Athletic Director, you better learn quickly that if you don’t understand your school’s foundation is academics, you will constantly face internal struggles with teachers and other administrators. At the same time, the best schools also understand that athletics is the front porch of the school. It is often the first thing prospective families see and experience. When schools intentionally invest in both academics and athletics, everyone benefits. Strong academics build the mission of the school, while strong athletic programs build community, school pride, visibility, and relationships that extend far beyond the playing field. The schools that truly excel are the ones that stop viewing academics and athletics as competing priorities and instead recognize that they are partners in creating an exceptional student experience. Great schools don’t choose one over the other. They commit to both.
