About the Lower School Athletic Director: My name is Ryan Heffley and I am the new Lower School Athletic Director. I am so thrilled and excited to serve the student athletes in the Lower School and Middle School. I am currently the Upper School Physical Education and Health Teacher. In addition to Teacher and Lower School Athletic Director, I am also the Head High School Football Coach and the Head Middle School Track Coach. I have also been fortunate enough to previously coach wrestling and baseball in the past. I hope to use my background in athletics to better serve the students and parents.
I am a firm believer that athletics are a great thing for young people. They teach life lessons that are hard to replicate elsewhere. The goal with our youth sports program is to focus on skill development and teamwork in a positive environment.
