NMH offers one of the broadest athletic programs among secondary schools in the country. As a student-athlete, you can compete in 21 interscholastic sports on more than 60 teams that include varsity, junior varsity, and junior levels. Many teams play in the most competitive leagues in New England, so you’ll be asked to dig deep and reach for your best, all the while working with your classmates as a team. Our experienced coaches push you and support you at the same time: At NMH, no matter what sport you pursue, you’ll go farther than you ever imagined possible.
Two new turf fields and several new outdoor tennis courts (there are 12 outdoor courts altogether) are just the beginning of NMH’s dedication to giving our teams the tools they need to succeed. Athletes work out in a newly remodeled fitness center, tear up our eight-lane all-weather track, and swim laps in our indoor six-lane pool. You’ll also find a nine-hole golf course; a boathouse on the Connecticut River; two full gymnasiums; baseball, football, soccer, lacrosse, and softball fields; and an ice rink.
NMH’s mascot is the Hogger. Lore has it that it refers to students’ work jobs at the farm. Whatever the origin, athletes take pride in their nontraditional porcine identity.
In addition to interscholastic teams, you can sign up for intramural athletics (soccer, basketball, volleyball, and softball) and take part in our extensive outdoor program, where the miles of trails on campus and nearby mountains and lakes are your classroom. Dance classes also help you meet physical education/athletics requirements. If you’re ready for a physical and mental challenge, NMH has a sport for you.
