Don Bosco Prep Names New Athletic Director

RAMSEY, NJ — Don Bosco Prep has promoted from within to fill the position of athletic director.

Marcin Szorc has been a part of Don Bosco athletic program for the past eight years. He worked at Ridgefield Memorial High School for three years before coming to Don Bosco in 2011 as head athletic trainer. He was named assistant athletic director in 2013.

"I am elated and grateful to take on this new challenge," Szorc said. "I look forward to working with the school's administration with anticipation to bring growth and success to this department within the upcoming year and future."

Szorc "brings integrity and a strong work ethic to this position that will align with our Salesian charism," said Robert Fazio, Don Bosco's president.

"He has brought many new 21st century programs to our athletic department and training facility since coming here. He has a strong sense of community and is extremely well respected by the students, the coaches, the parents, and the athletic community in general," Fazio said. "This provides Don Bosco with a seamless transition to continue the national excellence that is expected at our school."

"It was clear that Marcin is committed to fostering a growth mindset among our student-athletes," said Principal Emanno Morelli. "He brings with him the respect and relationships of student-athletes and their families, as well as institutional knowledge that will be invaluable as we continue to move Don Bosco forward."

Szorc takes over the position following former athletic director Brian McAleer being hired to the position of alumni relations director at Don Bosco. McAleer moved into the position after Richard Wisniewski died in June.
