NORTH ATTLEBORO - Superintendent John Antonucci announced on Tuesday that Dr. Nick Schlierf has been selected as the new athletic director of North Attleboro High School.
Dr. Schlierf was appointed after he was recommended for selection by a hiring committee.
“It was important to us that we had a thorough and inclusive search process to find our next athletic director,” said Principal Peter Haviland in a press release issued Wednesday. “I would like to thank the dozens of stakeholders who either served on the search committee, attended the finalist forum, or simply provided feedback to us about the candidates. It led to a great outcome.”
Dr. Schlierf will begin in his new role on July 1.
He replaces longtime Athletic Director Kurt Kummer.
On behalf of the entire district, I would like to thank Kurt Kummer for his years of dedicated service to the North Attleborough community, and to our student-athletes,” said Superintendent Antonucci. “He leaves a strong foundation for Dr. Schlierf to build upon.”
Dr. Schlierf, of North Attleboro, has served as a high school athletic director for 16 years. Most recently, he served as athletic director for the Sharon Public Schools after being hired in 2017.
He currently serves as one of the chairs of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association District Athletic Committee, where he works closely with the Executive Director of the MIAA and Massachusetts School Administrators’ Association.
While serving at Sharon Public Schools, he also played a crucial role in the process to build the new Sharon High School, from project design through the completion of the project earlier this year.
