Time and time again, research has shown that participation in high school athletics has a positive influence on the scholastic achievement of the participants. The mission of the Research Triangle High School Athletic Department is to not only field competitive teams, but to teach student-athletes important values such as sportsmanship, hard work, and perseverance that will help them in high school and beyond.
RTHS is currently a member in the Super Six Conference, a conference in the 2A classification of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA). Over the course of our history, Raptor athletic teams have won 21 conference titles, 6 NCHSAA regional championships, and two NCHSAA state championships (boys’ tennis and girls’ cross country, both in 2019), along with numerous individual state and regional championships in cross country, track & field, swimming, and tennis.
In order to be eligible for athletic participation, all student-athletes at RTHS must pass five of their six academic classes each semester and have a current physical examination conducted by a licensed physician on file. All student-athletes must also pay an athletics fee that will be used to defray the cost of essential expenses such as equipment, uniforms, and facility rentals.
All questions about athletics at RTHS can be directed to Alex Drake, the athletic director, at 919-998-6757 or by email.
All school policies and procedures can be found in the RTHS Athletics Handbook.
