Darien Hires New Full-Time Athletic Director

By Barbara Bell
Yesterday, on September 11th, Superintendent Dr. Stephen Falcone announced that the Darien Public School systems and the Darien Board of Education had hired a new full-time athletic director. In his press release, Dr. Falcone said that he was “pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Christopher Manfredonia as Director of Physical Education, Health and Athletics.”

Mr. Manfredonia hails from Fairfield Ludlowe High School, where he served as A.D. for seven years. Prior to that, he was chair of the Staples High School physical education department and he also taught physical education at Bedford Middle School in Westport, Connecticut.  He is an active member of the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference.

Mr. Mike Sullivan resumed his responsibilities as Assistant Principal of DHS on September 10th. Mr. John Keleher, retired Athletic Director, will fill in as an interim until Mr. Manfredonia begins.


On behalf of Neirad, DHS, and the community at large, we thank Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Keleher for their (continued) service and we welcome Mr. Manfredonia to the Blue Wave!
