Saints Girls Basketball will take the Western Slope League by storm this coming season. I’m thrilled that Kent Petersmeyer has accepted my offer to serve as VCHS’s next Head Girls Basketball Coach effective immediately.
Coach Kent (aka KP) grew up in Northern California and played basketball for Menlo-Atherton High School and the University of California at Santa Barbara. He also earned his MBA from Harvard Business School. Prior to arriving in the Vail Valley in 2014, Coach worked in the supply chain and computer industries, as well as marketing and sales with real estate developments. Today he serves as an Associate Broker for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Colorado Properties.
A perennial Golden State Warriors fan, Coach is a student of basketball. He recently served as a Head JV Coach at Vail Mountain School. Coach is also connected to Vail Christian High School as a grandparent – Brock ’23 – and his daughter-in-law Adina Petersmeyer will be serving as our Head Girls Volleyball Coach. In his free time, Coach enjoys tennis, golf, hiking, backpacking, skiing, and cheering on Steph Curry and the Warriors.
Coach’s philosophy with our Lady Saints will emphasize: character, competitiveness, faith, fun, fundamentals, and leadership. He looks forward to allowing the girls to “have a voice with the direction the team will take.” He’s also excited to have the girls strike the right balance between hard work, excellence, team camaraderie, and fun.
Thanks to the Interview Team under Tim Pierson’s leadership! Thank you Will Barela, Sheldon Kuhns, and Mike McCurdy.
If you’re a returning Saints Basketball player or a prospective one, you’ll be hearing from Coach very soon. Join me in welcoming Coach Kent (

Go Saints!
Steve O’Neil
Head of School
