Meet the Team
Message from the Director of athletics
At RPCS we provide an education-based athletic program that strikes a balance between highly competitive championship experiences and a lifelong love of sports and fitness. RPCS Athletics is a co-curricular opportunity for students and a continuation of the classroom. We stand behind our core value to live healthy and be well.
At RPCS we offer 16 varsity sports and embrace the philosophy that we are all a part of one team. Our state-of-the-art facilities allow us to support students of all ages. This includes our comprehensive physical education program during the school day as well as our after-school programming with Lower School intramurals and Middle and Upper School athletic teams. We focus on teaching broader lessons of teamwork, leadership, sportsmanship and competition that our REDS will carry into their lives beyond the playing field. As a member of the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland (IAAM) we compete in one of the premier leagues in the country.
As Athletic Director, I am extremely proud to lead our Athletic Department and group of student-athletes who consistently support one another and celebrate each other’s successes. We value a collaborative environment where mentorship develops organically. I love to see our 4th and 5th grade intramural athletes working on skills with the varsity teams, and our Upper School athletes on the sidelines cheering for the middle school. On game days, you can find a sea of red and white in the stands passionately sharing their RPCS sprit. From our championship caliber teams competing in all three seasons to our student-athletes who share their time and talents with the community, there are many exciting ways our REDS are making an impact in our school community every day.
GO REDS!
Carol Hatton
Director of Athletics
