Dear Watertown Public Schools Faculty, Families, and Students,
An Update on the WPS Athletic Director Transition
We are so proud of all of our student athletes in the Watertown Public Schools and it is our top priority to ensure there is little to no disruption in our athletic programs and athlete experiences as we transition Athletic Directors. We wish Mr. Catuccio a successful time in his new district!
To provide a seamless transition between Athletic Directors, beginning October, 28, 2024 Mr. Gianni Perugini, in addition to his duties as WHS Principal, will assume the responsibilities of the Athletic Director role temporarily until we have found a replacement for the full-time AD role until the end of the 2024-2025 school year.
Mr. Gianni Perugini is currently the Principal at WHS with deep knowledge and experience in school district athletics. I am confident that Mr. Perugini will be a strong bridge between now and the appointment of a full-time Athletic Director. We are currently actively searching for a replacement and will let the Watertown community know as soon as we have designated a new Athletic Director.
