Westminster is an inclusive, Christian independent day school where bright, motivated, curious students who are nurtured by challenge become leaders of conscience. Founded in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1951, Westminster is guided by a mission to prepare students for college and for life. With a current enrollment of approximately 1,860 students in grades pre-first through twelfth, 325 faculty, and 250 staff, Westminster fulfills its mission through a dynamic curriculum that engages children across the key dimensions of their growth – academic, physical, and spiritual.
Westminster takes great pride in the success of our interscholastic athletic program. Our 302 state championships are unrivaled in Georgia and demonstrate the ability of our faculty and staff to bring out the best in our students inside and outside of the classroom. Our commitment to the teacher-coach model ensures that we hire and support teachers who will engage and develop our students through interscholastic athletics.
Westminster’s new Athletic Director will design the future of athletics at Westminster. As a team leader, the Director will prioritize the development of coaches and players as part of the school’s broader mission to inspire a new generation of leaders for our community and nation. As a program architect, the Director will consider how developments in areas such as sports psychology and biomechanics, performance technology, and social media can further elevate Westminster’s nationally recognized program. Like our students, our Athletic Director will be ambitious, eager to take the initiative while bringing a wholesome intensity to this role. Westminster’s athletic program is unique in its resources, complexity and competitive success. Our next Athletic Director will be an accomplished leader and manager ready to join a community of enthusiastic and supportive Wildcats eager to participate in our program’s pursuit of excellence.
The Westminster Athletic Director reports directly to the President and is a member of the school’s senior leadership team.
