Teamwork


With a focus on teamwork, our sports programs instill sportsmanship, self-discipline, perseverance, and dedication—skills that serve students well beyond their time on The Hill. We celebrate spirited competition and the drive for excellence, while teaching our athletes to compete with integrity. Whether in victory or defeat, our students learn to respond with grace and resilience.

Our coed equestrian team showcases talent across the Southeast, while our varsity basketball Gold Team has maintained national recognition for over 35 years. These achievements reflect not just athletic prowess, but the comprehensive development we foster in each student-athlete.

Notable OHA athletic accomplishments include:

• Largest number of NBA players produced in U.S. high school history
• Over 300 NCAA Division I players produced
• Produced more McDonald’s All-Americans than any other high school in the country
• Founding member of the EYBL Scholastic conference (formerly NIBC)
• Sent 2 students to State Wrestling Meet
• Soccer partnership with Paris St. Germain Academy (beginning in 2025-2026 school year)

“Oak Hill Academy changed my whole life. If I had stayed back in Baltimore with school, I probably would not be here right now.”
