It’s truly a remarkable place.

Welcome to the 2022-2023 Lady Panthers basketball season. We have a beautiful new 68- acre campus that opened in 2020 with world-class academic and athletic facilities. Our student athletes have the optimum environment to flourish in the classroom and on the basketball court. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to tour our beautiful campus. It’s truly a remarkable place.

The student athletes in our program have worked extremely hard to prepare for the season and I am very proud of them. Between attending classes, long hours of studying, basketball practice and games, our players have learned to budget time, balance priorities and achieve success in the classroom as well as on the basketball court. Every day I am totally amazed at what these young women accomplish.

I want to take this opportunity to recognize our parents and say THANK YOU ! Parents know all too well a daughter ’s hectic schedule becomes a family’s hectic schedule and that means long days, late nights, and weekends full of basketball. It’s a sacrifice the entire family makes and that means everything to your daughters and our school. I have been an educator and coach for nearly 20 years. The driving force behind a student’s success is their parents. Parents are the strength, stability and foundation in a child’s life and we are deeply grateful for everything you do.

There is one constant in the world of coaching -- a basketball program is only as good as the support it receives. We are truly blessed to have the best Catholic high school in America with an outstanding school administration, an incredible staff, talented student athletes, dedicated coaches, caring families and a large community of supporters. By everyone working together, we graduate stellar student athletes who succeed in college and in their chosen career fields.
