Good Evening Fans of Bulldogs Athletics:
As I enter into my thirteenth year as the Athletic Director for Glassboro High
School, I want you to know that I am very privileged to serve in this position. I
have been fortunate to watch some of the state’s finest athletes compete for
Glassboro High School athletic teams. Glassboro has a strong tradition in athletics and it is a tribute not only to those who have competed but to those who
have supported the athletic teams over the years.
