SCPS Welcomes New Head Athletic Performance Coach

Savannah Christian Preparatory School welcomes Sean Fogarty as the new Head Athletic Performance Coach. A former University of Georgia football player with collegiate coaching experience at Arkansas, McNeese State, and Valdosta State, Fogarty brings a passion for student development, fitness, and athletic excellence to SCPS.
Savannah Christian Preparatory School is pleased to announce and welcome Sean Fogarty as the newest member of our staff, serving as our Head Athletic Performance Coach. We look forward to the positive impact Sean will make in the development and success of our student-athletes.

Sean graduated from the University of Georgia in 2018 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History while playing offensive line for the Bulldogs. He also holds a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Valdosta State. He’s coached at the University of Arkansas, McNeese State, and Valdosta State.

Sports Information Director Ken Griner recently spoke with the 2014 Benedictine graduate.

What was attractive about the job at Savannah Christian?
"The opportunity to come back home and work at a place with good people. I feel like I can make an impact on the school. During the interview process, I sat down with every department; you could tell this place was important to them."

What excites you about coming back home?
"Just to be closer to where I grew up, and be around my family more."

Savannah Christian stresses academics while also emphasizing fitness and weight training for all students. Why is that important to you?
"It shows that the faculty and staff are invested in the overall development of every person at Savannah Christian. Also, the faculty work with one another regardless of the department. Everyone is working to help the student succeed."

You played at Georgia, and you’ve coached at Arkansas, McNeese State, and Valdosta State. Does that knowledge gained in weight training translate to the high school level?
"I have been very fortunate to be around some elite strength coaches, both as a player and as a coach, at the collegiate level. There is no substitute for hard work and mental toughness. You've got to put the work in at the end of the day. That’s at any level."
