<p>DD’s private high school graduates about 100 students annually & field teams in 20 sports - the football team is a bit light in players this year due to upperclass graduations the past two seasons. DD plays field hockey in the fall; where many of the varsity players have to also play part of the JV game due to a small roster and player injuries; & softball in the Spring. Most of her field hockey teammates play lacrosse in the spring with the balance playing softball. Academics are rigorous</p>
<p>Currently there are 49 school alumni playing their sport at the collegiate level - several in the Ancient 8; one who is a member of the B1G championship field hockey team & 1 at Stanford. Most athletes; however are competing in D III at places many on CC would know since they can be competitve on the field and in the classroom. There are 3 alumni earning a living playing professionally in their sport (soccer, basketball & baseball) but they are exceptional at what they can do. For the rest, they’ll “go pro in something other than athletics”.</p>
<p>Four of this years graduating field hockey class will go on to play either field hockey or lacrosse in college; two will be at schools well known to CC. In DD’s year (2015), one of her best friends will be swimming in the ACC beginning in Fall 2015 as she is being very heavily recruited and a very bright girl.</p>
