THANK YOU, BOB DALY! This past Thursday at our Hall of Fame ceremony, we recognized and honored Mr. Bob Daly (who served as Athletic Director from 2011-2018) for his recent retirement. We presented Coach Daly with a plaque that stated: “With Heartfelt Thanks To Bob Daly Dean • Teacher • Coach • Athletic Director • Mentor  In recognition of your extraordinary service, leadership, and heart since 2008, thank you for guiding our community as Dean of Students, inspiring generations of players from the dugout, and empowering students in the classroom. Thank you for your transformative vision as Athletic Director. You elevated our athletic programs by seeking out young coaches, placing immense faith in their potential, and guiding them into some of the greatest leaders and championship coaches our school has ever seen. Most of all, thank you for championing our student-athletes and instilling a standard of excellence, sportsmanship, and Warrior Pride that will define our school for generations to come. You have shaped champions on the field and leaders in the classroom. Your legacy is built into the foundation of our school. Once a Warrior, Always a Warrior.
