Principal Chad Collins is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert Thomas as the new Athletic Director for North Mason High School. Rob has been with the district for 10 years in various coaching, teaching, and leadership roles. He has a deep understanding of WIAA athletics, extensive coaching experience and a philosophy of inclusion that supports all our student athletes, at all levels of competition. A longstanding member of the community, Rob is well positioned to make an impact as the Athletic Director for North Mason Schools, while continuing to build and strengthen our athletic programs.
Having taught and coached at North Mason for a number of years, Rob knows, “The success of our athletes starts in the classroom as we must foster a positive environment for them to learn and strive for excellence in.”
Some of the many ways Rob has supported students during his career with North Mason are as a special education paraprofessional, as food services director, and, most recently, as a Culinary Arts Teacher at NMHS. “As I take over as the new Athletic Director for North Mason, I am fueled with a deep love and passion for North Mason Athletics, our students, the staff, administration, and community. I look forward to cultivating an inclusive and empowering environment for our athletes to thrive. Let's not just be champions in sports, but champions in life”.
Our outgoing AD, Ray Bonnell, will facilitate the transition to ensure our students have a smooth start to their fall sporting season. We wish Ray Bonnell the best of luck in his future endeavors and thank him for his significant contribution to our district and students.
Please join us in welcoming Robert Thomas to his new role.
Chad Collins, Principal NMHS
