Needham Welcomes New Athletic Director
July 20, 2023
• We chat with Ryan Madden, the new Needham High School Athletic, to learn more about his past experience and what he is looking forward to working at NHS.
The next Rockets sports season is just about a month away, and when the students return to take on the school year they will find new leadership in place for the Needham High School Athletic program. With one of the broadest programs in the Commonwealth, and a series of recent successful runs, it will be a huge challenge to keep things running smoothly and support the next generation of athletes. Up for the challenge is the new athletic director, Ryan Madden. We had the opportunity to talk with him about his new team, and what he envisions for the upcoming school year.
