Tower Hill is a pre-K-12 private school located in Wilmington, DE. The middle school team was discontinued in 2024.
Team History
The team existed in some capacity in the 1980s, having participated in the Comcast Academic Challenge as well as the 1989 NAC. Besides that, before 2019 the history of the team is unknown, as seemingly no records are kept.
The current high school and middle school teams were created as a club by its current coach, Shaun Neal, in 2019. The teams would often participate in regional tournaments.
The high school team was discontinued in 2023 before being revived in 2024. The middle school team was also inactive during this time, and was fully discontinued in 2024.
The high school team has qualified for the 2026 SSNCT, which it plans to attend, as well as HSNCT.
