We have invested more than $25 million in our athletic facilities in the past decade — creating one of the best playing environments in the region. Our facilities include the only on-campus competition swimming pool among all private schools in DC, two full basketball courts that convert to four cross-court practice courts, three full practice fields, four auxiliary practice fields, seven tennis courts, a baseball field with major league dimensions, and a six-lane competition running track with high jump, pole vault, discus, shot put, and long jump competition areas. We also have a fully equipped weight room staffed by a certified strength and conditioning coach and a state-of-the art training room staffed by two full-time certified athletic trainers.
