Dr. Nicole Cervantes

The Storm King School is excited to welcome Dr. Nicole Cervantes as our new Athletic Director for the 2021-2022 academic year. Dr. Cervantes will spend her time overseeing SKS’ Department of Athletics, working with our students, coaches, teams, and clubs, and teaching Health.

Dr. Cervantes holds an EdD in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis from the University of Missouri, an MS in Sports Management from East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, and a BA in Mass Communications from Franklin Pierce University. Her philosophy is focused on the young people she coaches and oversees. She believes in helping student-athletes become young professionals, encouraging hard work and discipline, and making a difference in her community.

“I believe the future is bright for Storm King Athletics,” explained Dr. Cervantes. “We are extremely excited to get our competitive teams on the road and share all of the skills they’ve learned during their mostly-training seasons last year. My hope is that win, lose, or draw, each of our student-athletes will take pride in wearing Storm King on their chest and remember that truth, respect, and responsibility are the foundation for all of our success.”

Before joining the faculty at Storm King, Dr. Cervantes served as Director of Athletics and Student Leadership at The Academy of Penguin Hall, and an assistant volleyball coach at George Washington University and Southeast Missouri State University, where she was also the recruiting coordinator and camp director.

Leading up to the first day of school on September 1, Dr. Cervantes is busy getting ready for the arrival of our students who are anxious to participate in sports and clubs following a year-long hiatus. She has already been in contact with students and families about team sign-ups, and offers them a positive message to start off the semester: “We are going to have an outstanding year back on the course, field, pitch, and courts. Storm King Athletics is here to serve you and help you develop a healthy lifestyle. I hope each student will come to visit me in the gym once you’ve arrived and are settled in. I’m really looking forward to getting to know all of you!”

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Cervantes to the Storm King Community.
