Eight RISD teachers were surprised and celebrated on Feb. 3 and recognized as RISD Super Teachers for the second grading period in the 2025-26 school year.

The 15-game winning streak wasn’t a product of luck; it was a product of a standard. When you look at the ’60+ PPG’ record, you aren’t just seeing talent—you’re seeing a system. Coach Kelly Dansby understood that a high-octane offense only works if the culture is high-discipline.

During the 2020–2021 season, when the team navigated an 11-2 record amidst unprecedented challenges, Dansby’s leadership was the constant. She didn’t just coach a playbook; she coached a mindset. From being named the RISD Coach of the Year to clinching her 100th career victory, the numbers simply reflect the relentless preparation she demanded. In the record books, it reads ’29-5,’ but in the gym, it felt like a masterclass in excellence.

Coach Kevin Lawson recently achieved his 200th career victory! For those who have been here for several years, you know that Coach Lawson and his staff have created some great memories and brought multiple championships to RHS. Every single victory has been achieved with great character and class, reflecting a shining light on our school and community. More importantly than the wins is his commitment to teaching his players to be young men of excellence who will thrive in society.
