- Varsity softball team. They earned a trip to the FSL playoffs for the second year in a row. They qualified for District I playoffs, and will play next Tuesday, May 31, at Plymouth White Marsh High School.
- Varsity baseball team. They defeated Academy of the New Church 5-2 on Tuesday, May 10, and earned a spot in the FSL playoffs that begin next week.
