Athletic Program

The Athletic Department is a key part of the well-rounded, student-focused education at RHP. We embody our core values such of inspiring a passion for learning, celebrating differences, cultivating creativity, fostering community, and promoting well-being. Participation in sports and being on a team provides valuable experiences, life lessons, and physical challenges that help students grow in all aspects of their lives.

Through athletics, students can learn or improve skills, practice teamwork, demonstrate good sportsmanship, and develop leadership qualities. Sports teach students to face life's challenges with confidence, resilience, and determination. We believe everyone has a place in our athletic programs and encourage all students to join, offering a wide variety of sports for everyone, from casual athletes to those aiming for college sports.

We offer 18 team sports across middle and upper school. All Husky teams compete against similarly-sized schools in the Coastal League of the California Interscholastic Federation's Southern Section, where we have a strong track record of success.

We are excited to share that Rolling Hills Prep’s own, Harvey Kitani, has been selected for induction to the Southern California Basketball Hall of Fame! The Southern California Basketball Hall of Fame honors legendary local basketball players & coaches from all areas of Southern California.

Kitani has over 960 career wins as a coach, which makes him the 3rd all-time winningest coach in California basketball history. He is only the 5th boys basketball coach in the state to win at least 900 games. Kitani had the majority of his wins at Fairfax High School, where he coached for 35 years and won four L.A. City Section Championships, before coming to Rolling Hills Prep in 2016.

RHP’s basketball program was in Division 5AA the season he started, having steadily moved up in divisions by winning CIF-Southern Section titles in 5AA (2017), 4A (2018), 3AA (2019) and 2AA (2021). The Huskies won the CIF State Championship in 2017. The RHP Boys Basketball team is now in Division 1, and are looking to make another big run for a CIF title.
