Athletics is an important extension of that mission, providing opportunities for students to grow in character, teamwork, perseverance, and leadership while representing the school with excellence.

The Athletic Administrative Assistant serves as a key member of the athletic department, providing the administrative coordination and operational support that allows coaches, students, and families to experience a well-organized and mission-aligned athletic program. This role helps ensure that eligibility, scheduling, communication, events, equipment, purchasing, and day-to-day operations are executed accurately and efficiently throughout the year.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and enjoys serving others behind the scenes. In partnership with the Athletic Administrator, coaches, and school leadership, this position helps create an athletic program where students, families, and coaches are supported through excellent organization, responsive communication, and dependable administrative systems.
