All girls, grades 1-12, Catholic, independent school with a co-ed early childhood program
The Stone Ridge Athletic Department is committed to having our program serve as an extension of the overall educational mission of the School. We aspire to develop Champions for Life by providing young women with an intentional and physically challenging athletic experience, inspiring not only competitive grace, but lifelong healthy habits and a physical awareness of oneself.
Through our whole child approach to coaching and teaching, complementing the five Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart education, we guide each Stone Ridge Girl to be the best version of themselves through sport.
At Stone Ridge, we provide opportunities for our girls to learn, participate, develop, and excel, and we celebrate that excellence in all of its forms. Explore our Gator programs & leadership development.
This fall, Stone Ridge athletics is about more than competition—it’s about connection. From team-building with our Sacred Heart sisters to shared experiences at Mercersburg Academy, Gator athletes are strengthening bonds that extend well beyond the playing field.
