Kimberly Wright and the Deerfield field hockey program have proven to be a perfect fit. Now home to one of the premier teams in New England, Deerfield has become a force to be reckoned with since it turned to coeducation in 1989. In that time, the field hockey team has qualified for post-season play in every year but one. They have six Western New England titles and won the New England tournament in 1992. Under Kim's leadership, the team has amassed an impressive 83-33-12 record.

Before joining Deerfield’s ranks, Kim held an assistant coaching position at Georgetown. She was a member of the University of Massachusetts – Amherst field hockey team, which reached the NCAA Division I tournament in each of her four years and competed in the finals Kim's freshman year.

A member of the Academy’s English Department, Kim earned her PhD from the University of Maryland. She lives in Husted House with her sons, Sam and Harry.
