Pingree School

We are thrilled to announce a remarkable achievement in our athletic program. For the second consecutive year, our Girls Varsity Field Hockey and Soccer teams have secured championships in their respective NEPSAC games.

Pingree School is proud to announce that six members of the Class of 2024 have signed National Letters of Intent, formally committing to play collegiate sports. On November 9, these student-athletes, along with their coaches and loved ones, gathered to celebrate this significant milestone.

Pingree School is proud to highlight the accomplishments of its swim team after one of its strongest seasons in program history. "There's a tremendously tight family-type bond that exists between swimming teammates; they push each other and they thrive together," Coach Brian Carver shared. "This is a team primed for continued growth and I'm so proud of their efforts." After qualifying at the EIL championship meet in February, eight swimmers for the Highlanders scored points at the New England Prep School Swimming Association (NEPSSA) championship meet on March 4, 2023. Anabella Zullo '26, Leo Bertone '25, and Kira Nielson '24 earned top-10 finishes at the meet. Bertone earned a gold medal in the 100-yard freestyle event and was honored as a NEPSSA champion and All-NEPSAC First Team. The girls team finished third at the EIL championship meet, where every swimmer on the team earned points in two events, the maximum allowed. Pingree Director of Athletics and Afternoon Programs Betsy Kennedy added, "I'm so proud of our Pingree Swim team! Their dedication and determination this season resulted in one of the team's best seasons yet. I can't wait to see what the future holds for this growing program!"

Though most teams were forced into an off-year for their 2020 seasons, that doesn't seem to have affected several of Pingree School's programs in athletics and afternoon activities; the girls varsity cross country team brought home the Division 3 NEPSTA championship and after posting an undefeated season, the football team clinched the Evergreen League championship and Mark Conroy Bowl! Congratulations are in order, too, for the varsity golf and girls varsity soccer, winning EIL league and tournament titles. The dance team received the Showmanship Award at the Endicott College Dance Invitational and will continue on to participate in the New York City Dance Alliance Convention and Competition in December. Field hockey and boys varsity soccer put in strong performances in their NEPSAC playoff games. Director of Athletics and Afternoon Programs Betsy Kennedy enthused, "We are so proud of all our fall teams. In spite of the challenges of last fall, our student-athletes demonstrated incredible determination, dedication, and commitment to supporting each other. It was an all-around great season for the Highlanders!" Congratulations to all of our fall programs on a job well done!

Throughout the 2020-2021 academic year, 22 Pingree School student-athletes accepted offers to play collegiate sports. "We are so proud of this group of dedicated, talented, and hardworking student-athletes and grateful to them and their coaches for all they've contributed to Pingree," said Betsy Kennedy, Pingree's athletic director.
