Panther Recap: Fall Athletics Highlights

About

Ashley Hall is a jewel in the heart of downtown Charleston. But it’s not our historic buildings and oak-canopied grounds that make our campus so special. It’s our students. And our exceptional program and faculty. And the vibrant learning community that together they create. Ashley Hall is a community that challenges, celebrates and supports young women at every stage of their education. Explore this section to learn more about our mission, our history, and our vision for the girls of the 21st century and beyond.

Programs

An Ashley Hall education reflects a thoughtful and developmentally appropriate approach to the teaching and learning process. Our program is designed to meet the needs of the individual student, recognizing and honoring how she learns best. We call it a Learning Spiral— a continuum of concepts and interwoven, spiraling progression of academic mastery. Take a look and explore our spiral to learn more.

Admission

An Ashley Hall girl is her own person. She brings with her unique talents, needs, dreams and hopes. And just like our students, our admission process is also unique. We want to get to know every applicant to ensure Ashley Hall is the perfect fit. All the details are here.

Alumnae

The Ashley Hall Alumnae Association is one of the ongoing gifts of an Ashley Hall education. Our graduates become part of a network of dynamic women across the globe who are doing incredible things. We want to keep in touch, and this section of our website is your invitation to connect.

Panther Recap: Fall Athletics Highlights

As the fall athletics season came to a close, our student-athletes demonstrated exceptional commitment, resilience, and talent. This season was marked by outstanding performances, meaningful milestones, and a strong sense of community across Ashley Hall Athletics. Here’s a look back at the achievements that defined our fall season.

Tennis Secures Consecutive State Championships

Our varsity Tennis team completed an undefeated season and claimed their second straight State Championship, closing out the year with a decisive victory over Trinity Collegiate. Their dedication and consistency set a remarkable standard for excellence. Special congratulations to Lily Sloan ’26 on being named SCISA Player of the Year!

Equestrian Opens the Season with Strong Results

The Equestrian team began the season with impressive momentum, earning second place in their first show and first place in the following competition. Their early success signals a promising season ahead. PQV!

Cross Country Demonstrates Competitive Strength

Cross Country earned a second-place finish at the region meet, highlighted by top-seven performances from Molly Mettler ’27 and Natalie Bennett ’27. Reflecting on the team’s progress, Molly shared: “It was such good vibes and I really felt all the team love… We’ve made a really big jump this season in intensity, and we’re all so supported by each other and by the Ashley Hall community.” The team now turns its focus to the State Meet in Columbia.

Swimming Earns State Runner-Up Finish

The Swim team delivered an outstanding performance at the state championship meet, finishing as State Runner-Up. Coach Cassidy Rindge reflected on the team’s accomplishments:

“We had four podium finishes and a new school record. The girls took a lot of ownership over their season… They came together as a team which was really cool. It’s such a positive trajectory.”

Celebrating Excellence: Charlotte Strickland ’26 Signs with Tulane University

A standout moment of the fall season was the celebration of senior Charlotte Strickland ’26, a leader on our Varsity Volleyball team, as she officially signed her National Letter of Intent to play Division I Volleyball at Tulane University. A special ceremony was held in the gym, where teammates, coaches, family, and friends gathered to recognize her achievement and witness this meaningful milestone. Charlotte’s commitment, both on and off the court, has been an inspiration to our community. We congratulate her on this well-deserved accomplishment and wish her continued success—all our best and PQV!
