Message From The AD
Dear Renton Community,
It is with great excitement and deep gratitude that I step into the role of Athletic Director for Renton High School. After 27 years in education, all proudly spent within the Renton School District, this opportunity feels like both a new chapter and a return to my roots.
My journey began as an instructional sports director, where I first witnessed the power of athletics to inspire, unite, and build character. That early experience launched me into a career in education that has included 13 years in the classroom and 14 years in elementary administration. The last 10 of those years, I had the honor of serving as principal at Highlands Elementary School.
Throughout my career, I’ve believed that every student deserves opportunities to grow not just academically, but socially, emotionally, and physically. Athletics play a vital role in shaping well-rounded, confident young people. Sports teach us perseverance, teamwork, leadership, and resilience. These are qualities that prepare students for life far beyond the field or court.
At Renton High, our RedHawk student-athletes are students first and athletes second. They are expected to represent their school, families, community, and themselves with pride and integrity always. That means attending class daily and on time, striving for academic excellence, and demonstrating outstanding citizenship. This is The RedHawk Way.
As Athletic Director, my vision is to build inclusive, supportive programs that inspire excellence, foster connection, and instill pride across our school. I am committed to creating opportunities for all students to discover their strengths, challenge their limits, and be part of something greater than themselves.
It is truly an honor to serve this community and work collaboratively as we carry forward over 100 years of PRIDE, TRADITION, and EXCELLENCE at Renton High.
With appreciation and enthusiasm,
Alfred DeBlasio
