FRYEBURG — The new multi-sport stadium at Fryeburg Academy will be named after the late John H. Atwood — a former FA teacher, coach, administrator and respected community member. School officials made the announcement last Wednesday.

“The Atwood family has had a long and enduring relationship with the Academy,” said FA Head of School Erin Mayo. “John’s legacy is evidenced by the continued success of our athletics program and the growth of our alpine and Nordic ski teams. We are thrilled to recognize and pay tribute to John’s many accomplishments.”
