The swim results posted yesterday were incorrect! We posted the psych sheets rather than the official scoring from the meet. We will correct this mistake this morning - check back for the official results. The one thing we did not get incorrect? The Cats had a great meet and represented the school well! Go, Cats!

Beginning this week, student-athletes  will have the opportunity to evaluate their experinces during the recently completed winter athletic season. A brain-child of the Student Athletic Advisory Committee, these evaluations serve as a valuable tool for our coaches, student-athletes, and administrators.

Team evaluations will be sent out this week to the parents of all or student-athletes that participated in our winter offerings. The evaluations are used by the athletic department and coaching staff in their end of season review(s) for each sport. We ask that all evaluations be returned to the athletic department as soon as possible. Please note that all evaluations should be anonymous. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Carolina Day School Athletic Department.
