Athletic Training

Lauren Hatch is in her fourth year as Head Athletic Trainer at ThunderRidge. 

Lauren received her Bachelor of Science degree in Sports and Exercise Science at the University of Northern Colorado in 2016. She went on to earn her Master degree in Athletic Training at the University of Idaho in 2019. She also is a proud alumna of Douglas County Schools, graduating from Highlands Ranch High School in 2012.

Through her Master’s program, she had many experiences at the high school and collegiate levels. Her experience at the United States Air Force Academy led her to the opportunity to join the NCAA-DoD multi-million-dollar Concussion Research Study (CARE Consortium) upon graduation, and then returning to DCSD as an assistant Athletic Trainer during the 2021-2022 school year. 

Lauren is a proud Colorado Native and enjoys spending time crafting and dabbles in photography. She spends most of her down time with her two pups Shelby and Maverick. She loves her Air Force family and can usually be found on game days at Falcon Stadium when her schedule allows (Go Air Force! Beat Army/Sink Navy!). 

ThunderRidge is a proud SafeSport School (the only one in DCSD!!) where we value and treat kids with the utmost respect and care. Your child’s safety is our number one priority!
