Anthony Hall receives PIAA Athletic Director of the Year Award BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
S
olanco High School athletic director Anthony Hall was recently named as the District III Athletic Director of the Year by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA). Anthony received the honor after the organization’s meeting of athletic directors in October, during which a vote was held to highlight an individual who has gone above and beyond to serve both the PIAA and his or her own athletic department. To be eligible for the PIAA award, Anthony was chosen as the Lancaster-Lebanon Athletic Association’s athletic director of the year. Anthony was nominated by another athletic director in the league to receive the honor, making him a candidate for recognition at the District III level.
The ballot included various athletic directors from the region, and the vote was taken during the District III conference’s annual meeting before the fall playoff season begins. “I was extremely surprised and honored to be nominated,” Anthony said. “We have some very good athletic directors in our league, and I was very humbled to be considered for the award.” Anthony has worked at Solanco High School for the last 10 years, but he has more than 18 years of experience as an athletic director. Prior to taking his current position, Anthony served as athletic director at Hanover High School as well as New Hope Academy Charter School in York city, which permanently closed its doors in 2014. Between the two positions, Anthony worked as the assistant athletic director
