• Coaches

  Dalton’s athletic staff consists of a group of dedicated individuals, many of whom have played or coached at the collegiate level. Proud of the school’s athletic success, Dalton coaches tie the athletic program closely to the school’s educational philosophy and view it as an opportunity to incorporate The Dalton Plan and its goals into the students’ athletic experiences. The coaches and staff are strongly committed to the health and development of every individual student, helping each achieve a positive experience. Coaches instill the values of ethics, teamwork, and sportsmanship as they simultaneously teach their young athletes how to balance their academic needs with their physical and emotional growth. This special coaching legacy and its hands-on approach with each individual student make Dalton’s athletic program truly unique.
