As I reflect on the past decade plus I have worked at Brighton High School as a Teacher, Coach, Dean of Students, Assistant Principal and now Athletic Director, prior to the beginning of a new school year, i am reminded of all of the outstanding students, staff and parents with whom I have had the privilege to work. Brighton High School is truly a special place for so many reasons. The traditions and legacy make it a place where anything is possible.

 

Our vision for Bulldog Athletics and Activities is one where we should “never accept mediocrity.” What does that mean? For me, it means students should study, work, practice and perform to always be the best version of themselves in all endeavors, whether that be Academics (which comes first and foremost), Athletics and Activities. You may hear me say this phrase often since it provides purpose and defines a direction to which all of our students can absolutely strive.

 

That being said, I want to wish all of our students the best of luck as the school year begins. I also want to wish our students involved in Athletics and Activities good luck as the Fall Seasons begin. To the wonderful parents of our students, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me personally if you ever need anything. I am honored to work at such a great school with such amazing young people.
