We can't wait to welcome you back to campus!

Since the first varsity programs were established in the fall of 1974, athletics has been a platform to showcase the varied contributions women and girls have made—and continue to make—to Hotchkiss. This October we look forward to highlighting the female student-athletes and coaches, past and present, who have had an impact on Hotchkiss through various events, exhibitions, and projects.

Please continue to reference this page for any announcements and updates.
