Special Note regarding the 2026-2027 Season:

• Dulles High School is moving down to Conference 5A from Conference 6A due to a combination of our enrollment declining ever so slightly and UIL increasing the lower threshold enrollment required to qualify for Conference 6A.
• Dulles is very excited about becoming one of the largest 5A schools in the state after being one of the smallest Conference 6A schools for many years (competing against schools with enrollments that are almost double ours.)
• We are expecting to be very competitive on the state level in boys swimming, in particular, next season, and we are looking for a candidate who can help us maximize our potential and make the most of this opportunity.

Supplemental Income Opportunities:

• The Dulles High School head coach also coaches a summer recreational swim team, the Houston Orcas, and coaches at LifeTime Fitness. Those interested would be welcome to join the Orcas coaching staff and can be provided with a recommendation to the LifeTime Fitness aquatics leadership, also.
