It is the best job I ever had, but life is not just about a job,” Auriemma said. “I’ll have a lot of jobs in my life, but only one family.” Entwistle noted as a result of Auriemma stepping down, assistant principals Susan Ketch and Ray Dunn, Athletic Director Mike LeGage and Monique Culbertson, the district’s director of curriculum and instruction, will form a leadership team to take over day-to-day operations at the high school. Entwistle said Culbertson will lead that effort, while other district personnel will cover “her job responsibilities related to curriculum and instruction.”
