District Hires Robert Picano as New Athletic Director
At its July 13, 2021 regular meeting, the Board of Education approved the hiring of Robert Picano as the district's new athletic director replacing Dave Fast who served as athletic director for seven years.
Picano joins the district with 26 years of education experience, having spent 21 of those years as an athletic director. More recently, Picano served as the athletic director at Edsel Ford High School, where he was responsible for all aspects of educational athletics for Dearborn Public Schools. Picano received his Bachelor of Science from Eastern Michigan University and a Master of Arts - Sports Administration from Wayne State University. He is also a Certified Athletic Administrator with the National Athletic Administrators' Association.
"Bob has demonstrated an exceptional dedication to the students and schools he's served over the course of his career," said WBSD Superintendent Mark Greathead. "We are excited to have such an experienced and enthusiastic leader join our team, and we look forward to seeing how he - and ultimately the district - continues to grow in the years to come.
Picano said, "Woodhaven-Brownstown School District has a strong athletic department that is the heart of the community. I'm thrilled to join the WBSD family, and I look forward to supporting our students and coaches as they work toward continued success on and off the field."
Alicia Flynn Named new District Asst. Athletic Director
On August 17, 2021, the Board of Education welcomed Alicia Flynn as the district's new Asst. Athletic Director. Flynn's primary responsibilities are to oversee and manage middle school sports.
Flynn was hired in 2019 as a 9th grade math teacher at Patrick Henry Middle School. Prior to coming to the WBSD, she taught math at Swan Valley Middle School in Saginaw, Michigan. Flynn has previous coaching experience having coached both middle school volleyball in the WBSD and middle school basketball at Swan Valley. Flynn earned a Bachelor of Science majoring in mathematics from Saginaw Valley State University in May 2012.
Flynn immediately stepped into middle school sports, taking part in coaching interviews, working with coaches in developing tryout and practice schedules and getting fall middle school sports up and running. She's done some out-of-the box thinking to give middle schoolers even more exposure to sports. Flynn is working to create an intramural co-ed volleyball league as well as some other fun opportunities for our students. One such opportunity in the works is the development of an annual district-wide service project for students. She currently maintains two offices, one at PHMS and one at BMS. As fall athletics wind down, she is hard at work on middle school winter sports.
Flynn commented, "As I transition to my new role as the Assistant Athletic Director, I am eager to learn and grow our middle school athletics program in both opportunity and culture. It is my goal that all students have a sense of value and belonging, while enjoying their experience with middle school sports."
As we welcome Alicia Flynn to our administrative team, we look forward to the growth of the middle school program knowing Alicia will be instrumental in its success.
