Athletics
As one of Hockaday’s Four Cornerstones, Athletics plays an integral role in the lives of Hockaday students. Our sports activities, as well as our physical education classes, teach us to enjoy the mental, physical, and ethical balance that stems from teamwork, self-sacrifice, and perseverance. At Hockaday, we are committed to providing numerous opportunities that enable students to develop and nurture the knowledge and skills necessary to live healthy, active lives.
Hockaday competes in the Southwest Preparatory Conference (SPC) in basketball, cross-country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. In addition, Hockaday students compete in crew and fencing.

Director of Athletics Deb Surgi
| Athletics is a rich learning field and mimics many of our societal structures and therefore provides opportunities for young women to be tested with a myriad of challenges; handling failure, working with a diverse group of people, facing personal weakness and strengths, experiencing the importance of teamwork, humility, self-discipline, and focus. It is our goal to not only provide a wide variety of athletic experiences, but to help each girl and each team to have the opportunities to reach a high level of success in terms of progress and winning. |
Physical Education, Health, and Wellness
Our School culture actively recognizes health and
well-being as paramount to the success of its students.
We embrace and promote healthy, active lifestyles through
a continued commitment to health and physical education
at all grade levels. We successfully educate the School
community about the impact of decisions regarding the
girls’ schedules, homework load, extracurricular activities,
and academic stress points, and how these affect overall
health and well-being.
Personal fitness is a priority at Hockaday, and girls are
empowered with the knowledge and skills to maintain a
healthy lifestyle. Technology is integrated into the physical
education program, and each student’s fitness and activity
levels are tracked and stored for reference. As she grows,
she can easily follow her progress and see the positive
impact she is making on her health.
