Shoreline Public Schools Athletic Director Don Dalziel has been selected as the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) District 1 Athletic Director of the Year.

District 1 represents 49 school districts and private schools spanning from Shoreline to the Canadian border.

“We are incredibly proud of Don for this well-deserved recognition,” said Superintendent Rebecca Miner. 

“His commitment to supporting student-athletes on the field and in the classroom has created a culture focused on using sports to develop character and commitment to individual and team successes in sports and life.”

Dalziel will now join the eight other WIAA District award recipients for consideration of being selected the State Athletic Director of the Year. All District Athletic Directors of the Year will be honored at the Washington State Secondary School Athletic Administrators’ (WSSSAA) state conference in Spokane on April 23-26, 2017.

Humbled by the honor, Dalziel was quick to credit his staff for the recognition.

“This award reinforces all of the hard work that our team puts into making Shoreline Athletics great,” said Dalziel. 

“Our community and leadership team value athletics - they understand the core value that athletics serves as a co-curricular program and integral part of our schools.”

Dalziel is in his 13th year as Shoreline Public Schools athletic director and previously served as a physical education teacher, athletic director, girls basketball coach and track coach at Shorecrest High School.
