With that said, be sure to mark your calendars for upcoming events, stay connected through our social media channels, and keep an eye out for highlights from all things Richmond Hill High School.

Thank you to Matt Hodges with State Farm for recognizing students for Scholar Athletes for the Month. We appreciate your support of our student athletes at Richmond Hill.

I am a long-time resident of Richmond Hill. After graduating from RHHS, I went on to play basketball at Armstrong Atlantic State University. After graduation, I began my teaching career at Richmond Hill Middle School. I taught at RHMS for 4 years and coached boys' basketball and softball before moving up to RHHS to become the head Women's basketball coach. This is my 12th year coaching at RHHS.

I have been married for 7 years and have a 2-year-old daughter. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends the most.
