During a nationwide search for the position of CSDR’s Athletic Director, we were fortunate to have received responses from a good number of qualified applicants. The position requires an individual to work with not only students, but also parents, community members, teachers, league representatives and administrators.  After completing a lengthy interview process, we are thrilled to announce that we have appointed David Hamilton as the Interim Athletic Director for the 2008-2009 School Year.  

David has held a leadership role in a variety of venues including running a very successful summer camp, working as a P.E. Instructor, being involved with the Deaf Olympics, and playing a critical role in several community sports programs.  With his experience, I am confident that David will run the department with an excitement and passion that will bring our athletic programs to a new level. 

Please join me in congratulating David Hamilton!

Riverside Community,

Please join me in congratulating Kristy Nowak! She is our newest head coach for the Varsity Girls Softball team. She wants to be a coach that every student-athlete will know, not just a small group. There will be no divisive elitism: the squad will train, win, and play together. That way everyone succeeds.

I have no doubt that her passion and enthusiasm for the sport will motivate all our players and help them to really enjoy the sport. I am confident Kristy will give the program the impetus it needs to take its place as a home for top level players.

Please give Kristy a warm welcome!

GO CUBS!
