Earl Rimbey '12 is making his (and our!) name known in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference soccer world. The frosh midfielder #20 helped the Lynchburg Hornets score a victory against Virginia Wesleyan, securing a home first-round game for the Hornets in the ODAC tournament on Saturday. Lynchburg coach Chris Yeager had this to say about the Seahorse standout, "... some huge play from Earl Rimbey and Daniel Jobrack up the middle. They were men out there today and they are just freshmen... that's been huge for us  ... "

As the fall season cools down and basketball season heats up, be sure to follow Seahorse Teddy Okereafor as he takes the court for the Virginia Commonwealth University RAMs. Wednesday, at VCU's Media Day, Coach Shaka Smart referred to Okereafor as "probably our most improved player."

Pat Young '12 in the News ... Again
10/22/2012
This time it was Matt Kinnear of "Inside Lacrosse" who confirmed what we've known all along ... that Pat Young '12 is a very special lacrosse player. In his notes from Drexel's fallball "PlayDay" Kinnear got right to it and said, "Freshman Pat Young stood out for UMBC. He was able to hit shots from outside, initiate, and he was out there on defense as well."

EARTH DAY 2013
EVERY day is Earth Day at CCS

4/22/2013
Today may be the day that the world celebrates Earth Day, but at Christchurch School, EVERY day is Earth Day. Sustainability is an integral part of our mission as a school, and students and faculty follow best-practices across the curriculum and throughout every area of school life. As a community, we are mindful of waste, conserve energy, recyle, re-invent, raise oysters to clean our river and save the bay, and more. As a school, we apply the McDonough Triangle (ecology, equity, economy) in all that we do to maximize sustainability of resources. 

Choose "read more" for a list of Christchurch School's 23 sustainability initiatives. 

From our mission: "... part of that education (sound, college-preparatory) includes stewardship of our river and awareness of the broader natural environment so that our students learn to look beyond themselves to their place in the world around them." Learn more.
