Ridgecroft School is thrilled to have Ridgecroft alumnus Billy Jenkins (Class of 1999) as our Athletic Director. Prior to coming to Ridgecroft in 2023, Coach Jenkins spent 19 years working for Southampton County Public Schools in Virginia as a teacher, athletic director, coach, and principal. Most recently, he was the 7th-grade principal and middle school athletic director at Southampton Middle School and varsity baseball coach and JV boy’s basketball coach at Southampton High School. Coach Jenkins is the two-time Tri-Rivers District Baseball Coach of the Year and led his team to three Tri-Rivers District Baseball Regular Season Championships. Since 2018, he has had 11 players go on to play collegiate baseball. Coach Jenkins received his B.A. in criminal justice and political science from North Carolina Wesleyan University and holds a Master of Educational Administration and a doctoral educational specialist degree from Grand Canyon University. At Ridgecroft, Coach Jenkins will coach baseball and girls’ basketball. He is excited to lead athletics at the school where he has so many fond memories and enjoys watching his son, Laettner, a Ridgecroft second grader, grow both academically and athletically.
