[edit] Falcon Athletics

Since the opening of the school in 1968, Fairfield has had good athletic achievements. The Falcons are known to excel in basketball, and other sports.

In 2006, Fairfield's football team unexpectedly won the North Eastern Corner Conference Title, as they went undefeated having some major blow-outs. Unfortunately, the falcons got man-handled by the Jimtown Jimmies in the sectional finals. 2007 was a lot like 2006, the falcons went undefeated in the regular season, beat Culver Military in their non-conference game, then beat Fort Wayne Harding in the first game in sectionals. Again the Falcon's dreams were crushed by their arch rival, Jimtown.

In basketball Fairfield has a major rivalry with The Westview Warriors, a team which has some very similar ethnic and area features with Fairfield, as both schools have a high percentage of Amish students and a lot of the land in the school's area is used for farming. Most of the time, the games sell out when the two rivals play each other.
