R. Nelson Snider High School Football

The Snider Football Program’s mission is to equip students with the skills needed to work with others and develop attitudes and behaviors needed to be successful in the work place and community.

To that end, we track the academic progress of all of our student-athletes, in and out of season.  We also want to recognize outstanding achievement in the classroom.  On January 13th, Fort Wayne Community Schools finished its first semester.  These 45 Panther Football players finished with all As or Bs on their report cards (as reported by Academic Coach Laura Hinton):
