In June, Mooresville High School will say
goodbye to our Athletic Director of two years, Chad Briscoe.
Briscoe has accomplished many things as
Athletic Director at MHS, including Mooresville’s Champions of Character
program, a program that recognizes students from all Mooresville schools who
display excellency in character, unity and servant leadership. He also oversaw
the planning for the Mooresville Sports Complex, a complex that includes the
Mooresville Junior League fields, the cross country course, all other
Mooresville athletic fields, and the League of Miracles.
“Chad served Mooresville Schools extraordinarily
well by consistently living out positive, professional and productive behaviors
and habits,” Superintendent Brad Lindsay said in a press release.
There were also several firsts in
Mooresville Athletics history while Briscoe was Athletic Director, including
Mooresville’s first All Star in Cross Country, the first Regional qualifier in
swimming and the first Sectional title in girls’ tennis.
“[Briscoe] has done a wonderful job in the
two years that he has been here,” Athletic Secretary Marsha Green said. “He has
done so many positive things.”
Briscoe also oversaw the building of the
first school-owned softball field in MHS history. He has also secured a
three-year sponsorship from St. Francis hospital for the athletic department
and improving the school’s tennis courts, baseball field, weight rooms, track
and football building, basketball gym, natatorium and soccer field.
Briscoe has accepted a position as athletic
director and professor of Sports Management at Grace College in Indiana.
“There are many benefits for my family in
returning to the college level,” Briscoe said. “I will serve as a professor on
campus and I look forward to returning to teaching again.”
Briscoe will be missed by the students and
staff at MHS. Be sure to wish him luck at Grace College.
“I have grown professionally from my
experience at Mooresville and will miss working with the staff, students and
coaches that make Mooresville a special place,” Briscoe said.
