Ben Franklin is proud of the opportunities offered to our students through our athletic teams. We see athletics as an extension of the classroom. The focus of Ben Franklin Charger athletics is to help develop young athletes both mentally and physically, giving them opportunities to grow as students, athletes, and young adults. Our no cut policy in 7th and 8th grade is designed to allow students to try a variety of sports to see what their interests might be. Our 9th grade athletics (JV2 & JV3) are part of the Stevens Point Area Senior High (SPASH) sports program. Information and schedules for ninth graders can be found on the SPASH school website.
If you have any questions or concerns about Ben Franklin athletics, please contact the Ben Franklin Athletic Director, Derek Kirklewski - dkirklew@pointschools.net
