Clint Alexander

Championship culture comes before trophies in Clint Alexander’s playbook, with his essentials to success being the core values of discipline, leadership, and unselfishness.

Coach Alexander has built winning programs and taught, mentored, and coached adolescent boys into men of character everywhere he has been in 29 years with this as a foundation, from large public schools to small independent schools.

Following a competitive and nationwide search, Christ School was pleased to hire Clint Alexander as our new Football Program Director and Varsity Coach in April 2025. 

Coach Alexander comes to Arden from another all-boys school, Blue Ridge School in Saint George, Va. The Barons went undefeated (11-0) and were Virginia Division II state champions last fall. They were 9-2 and state runners-up in 2023, and 5-4 in 2022. Clint inherited a program three years ago that only had a half-dozen varsity players and quickly built the roster to 32 in his first 12 months. He is also a highly recognized History teacher and was named 2020 Teacher of the Year in the Saginaw Valley Conference.

Coach Alexander’s background includes a 12-year stint at Woodberry Forest (Va.) from 2005 to 2016 where he compiled an 83-32-1 record. He has sent more than 100 players to Division I college programs, including five to the NFL. Clint is a 12-time Coach of the Year award winner and a former head coach of the U-18 USA National Team. Coach Alexander holds a B.A. degree from Olivet College (Mich.) and has a special passion for military history. He will often insert quotes from respected leaders into his own message.

In his plan for developing a culture at Christ School, Coach Alexander bullet-pointed 25 different initiatives. He singled out No. 20 (Values Meetings) as the most important part of the program. It will entail regular discussions amongst the players, finishing with a question of why they play the game of football.
