The Coach

Peter Pappas

Hello, my name is Pete Pappas and I have served as the defensive coordinator for our football team over the past 11 years. We have been fortunate to win 7 state championships in Division 1 (Big School Division). Our championship years were 2010, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

With a background in coaching and a deep respect for teamwork, I strive to constantly grown and learn. I am blessed to have worked alongside great coaches including our current head football coach, Tom Lombardo. I also try to bring the best out of those I work with, both on and off the field. My commitment to excellence and fostering a winning mentality has been a cornerstone of my coaching philosophy.

When I'm not on the field, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, celebrating life's big and small moments, and looking forward to new adventures.
