Athletics is an integral and important part of a Cape Henry Collegiate education. Fielding nearly 60 sports teams, an average of 90% of our students participate in some form of organized athletics.
“The most heartwarming thing about CHC is how everyone in the community supports each other–basketball fans cheer for the cheerleaders, sports teams applaud at Cabaret and rocking musicians watch friends in a mock Supreme Court. We want other students to feel this sense of community and have the same opportunities and experiences."
Marnie Keogh, Parent of Madeleine Keogh '24
“Cape Henry enables the students and staff to work together to give the students a balanced education. There is truly a focus on challenging the students without overwhelming them. They are more than students at Cape Henry, they are young adults with voices.“

Parent of Eric '20 and Gabby '24
“In my experience at Cape Henry, they were able to push me to be my best, not only in the classroom, but in life, never accepting anything but my best and more. I am a better person for it and more confident in myself.“
Olivia Zettervall, Class of 2021
Fulfilling on the promise.
