The swimming and diving program is one of the most storied programs in school history, and recently garners national attention by winning back-to-back Swimming World National Championships in 2018 and 2019.
The golf team has memberships at The Golf Club of Tennessee, but practices at golf courses allover Nashville, including Harpeth Hills Golf Course, McCabe Golf Course and Percy Warner Golf Course.
"There was gratitude on the soccer team for every opportunity to step on the field. ... We savored every moment. The Harpeth Hall soccer team was a family."
"Basketball is a physically and mentally demanding sport that has taught me lessons about hard work, discipline, and resilience. Being part of a tightly knit team has created a community that I can rely on and that I am honored to be a part of."

"Joining the bowling team was one of the best decision that I made at Harpeth Hal. The sense of a team on this untraditional team is unmatched. Bowling season, ICEE season, is always my favorite time of year."

"The area I have developed the most in because of sports is definitely as a leader. My confidence levels have skyrocketed. I am able to maintain my confidence, even when I make a mistake. I am also more poised when I am in a difficult situation. I am much more comfortable with approaching my teachers if I have a question. I am able to lead my peers in discussions during a class or an assembly. These instances are all examples of how sports have boosted my morale and helped me become a leader."
