  1/27/2026
  Christchurch School Director of Athletics and Co-Curriculars Joel Jorgensen announces that Christchurch has been unanimously voted into the League of Independent Schools (LIS) for the 2026-27 school year. Christchurch will compete in the LIS for volleyball, girls basketball, girls soccer, and softball. The LIS is one of the oldest girls-only leagues in the country. Other LIS members include: Collegiate School (Richmond), Norfolk Academy (Norfolk), St. Catherine's School (Richmond), St. Gertrude's School (Richmond), St. Anne's Belfield (Charlottesville), St. Margaret's School (Tappahannock), Trinity Episcopal (Richmond), and Veritas School (Richmond). 

   

  Associate Director of Athletics and Assistant Girls Basketball Coach Taylor Carter says, "Being accepted into the LIS is an honor and a credit to our student-athletes. This milestone represents the recognition our program has worked hard to earn at CCS. While I have only been here for three years, I’ve witnessed tremendous growth and meaningful strides in our girls basketball program, making this an exciting and rewarding moment. It also represents a healthy challenge—one we are eager to embrace through competition while proudly representing our school with Seahorse pride."
  

   

  Head of School Billy Coyle adds, "This is a proud moment for Christchurch athletics. I am thrilled for this opportunity for our female athletes to now be part of this prestigious league. Our entire community and all our Seahorse alumni should be excited for what's to come!"
