Exclusive Interview with Nazareth's New AD Joe Silimperi

On Wednesday July 24 I Had a opportunity to interview the recently approved Athletic Director for the Nazareth School District and his name is Joe Silimperi and here is exactly what he said during the interview straight from him!


''My name is Joseph "Joe" Silimperi and I am proud to be the new Athletic Director here at Nazareth. I expect to continue the tradition of Nazareth excellence.  In terms of special jobs I will continue what Rusty, Bob and Dale have done in our department.  I graduated from Nazareth in 1984.  I have a BS from Bloomsburg and a Master's degree from Lehigh.  I received my administrative certificate from East Stroudsburg University.  I, as well as my 5 siblings were all athletes here in Nazareth so I have always enjoyed competition.  The AD wears many hats.  I will spend the time to make sure our athletes, community and district at large are supported.  It is my hope that all of our teams do well this year.  Doing well is not always defined by wins and loses but how we uphold our "Blue EaglePride" and represent the values instilled by our families and school community.''

I Will have more on this in the coming weeks as Fall Sports will start Monday August 12th!
