🏆 Happy Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Week! 🏆

This week, we’re taking a moment to recognize the dedicated athletic administrators who work behind the scenes to make meaningful experiences possible for our student-athletes, coaches, families and communities.

At Afton Central School District, we’re proud to recognize Lacy Hart, Athletic Coordinator, for the countless hours spent coordinating schedules, supporting coaches and student-athletes, solving problems and helping our athletic programs run smoothly.

We also appreciate the leadership and collaboration of our neighboring athletic administrators:

👏 Josh Quick, Athletic Director, Harpursville Central School District
👏 Greg Winn, Athletic Director, Bainbridge-Guilford Central School District

From long days and late nights to constant schedule changes, difficult conversations, problem-solving and celebrating student achievements, so much of the work of athletic administrators happens behind the scenes – but its impact is felt throughout our schools and communities.

Thank you, Lacy, Josh and Greg, for your dedication to interscholastic athletics and, most importantly, to our students. Your leadership and commitment make a difference every day!

Happy Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Week!
