Q : How is CSS moving athletics forward?
A: The foundational pillars of CSS are a three-legged stool, Academics, Arts, and Athletics. If you take one out it falls. CSS is committed to providing competitive athletics opportunities but students must participate as either athletes or fans. We are currently exploring additional partnerships with Vanguard and Harrison District to provide expanded opportunities for our students. We are working diligently to structure our program fees for 2024-25 and will announce that in early February. We are basing these on the data from our most recent family survey on fees. Thank you for your continuous support as we move ahead!
In fact, this year we are forming a combined Lacrosse team with Vanguard, CSS, and Harrison based at Vanguard. This will be like the successfully combined teams in D11 at Palmer and D20 at Pine Creek. There will be JV and Varsity teams. The head coach is Rick Gillit from Vanguard. We will try to schedule some practices and some games at Boddington Field.

Q: Tell us about yourself and your background.
A: I'm an MD, radiologist, and retired from practice in 2021. I've been at CSS since 2003 with 3 CSS lifers, Madelyn '16, Hayden '20, and Melinda '27 (9th grade). I've served on the CSS Board of Trustees 2015-2021, and BOT president 2016-2021. My coaching background includes MS boys basketball when Hayden was in Middle School, MS girls basketball when Melinda was in Middle School, and US girls tennis the past 3 years; last year we even qualified for the 3A team state championship tournament!
Q: Can you share a fun athletics fact about you?
A: I played college football at Rice University from 1989-92. I love sports! My kids have grown up in the CSS gym. I love seeing it full of life and energy when one of our teams is competing. GO KODIAKS!!
Q: What are some new opportunities you envision for athletics at CSS?
A: I will continue to explore ways to improve and enhance our athletics programs. We need students to participate as athletes and/or fans. I will encourage families from all divisions to come and cheer on your Kodiaks.

NEW! Sports Scholarships for 2024-25 Seasons
We all want the best for our students. This program has been created for that purpose - to help your student reach their personal goals. And it is offered at no cost to you. We believe that no family should have to choose between their school of choice or enrichment activities for their student. CHE is an organization that helps remove those barriers. Your student is given the support to engage in their activity of choice, click on the form below to register.
CSS is partnering with Inspired Learning, a division of CHE to help support families cover athletic fees. This is a seperate program in addition to any financial aid your family receives from CSS and is not part of the CSS Indexed Tuition. Please complete this form to indicate interest in knowing more about sports scholarship opportunities for the 2024-25 seasons. CHE will reach out to families directly after registration.
