SCH's Lance Ramer Inducted into University of Rochester Athletic Hall of Fame 

SCH teacher and coach Lance Ramer was inducted into the University of Rochester Athletic Hall of Fame on September 19 for his phenomenal football career.

A 2001 graduate of Rochester, Ramer was an "award-winning defensive mainstay," helping the Yellowjackets significantly improve their record during his tenure. He still holds multiple all-time school records, including all-time sack leader, and ranks first in career tackles for loss yardage, yards from sacks, and fumble recoveries. His collegiate excellence was further cemented by six career All-League honors and being named to three different All-America teams as a senior.

Beyond his legendary playing days, Ramer has built an impressive coaching resume that includes being named “Coach of the Year” four times. His background includes successful tenures at Blair Academy, Riverdale (where his team produced the best record in a decade), and Tallahassee (where he is the winningest coach in school history). Notably, he also took a struggling program at MKA to the brink of a state championship appearance.

At SCH, Ramer is an integral part of the community, serving as an Upper School math teacher and instructor of Cultivating Leadership through CEL. He is also a Student Resource Center instructor, advisor, and brings his expertise to our courts and fields as a Middle School basketball and baseball coach, and he runs the Multi-Sport Spectacular camp at Summerside.
