BSM’s long-time director of athletics and activities , Jerry Pettinger, will transition to a new role effective July 1, 2023. Pettinger has been named co-director of BSM facilities with Joe Kuehmichel.

“As the director of athletics and activities, Jerry has been instrumental in building the excellent co-curricular programs our students enjoy today,” according to Meghan Lind DesLauriers ’99, BSM president. “Jerry’s passion and commitment to BSM have been reflected in his hiring and mentoring of outstanding coaches and advisers who teach our students how to excel both in co-curriculars and life.”

During his 27 years as BSM’s director of athletics and activities, Pettinger has helped establish student experiences resulting in state championships and unique programs based on student interests and abilities. DesLauriers notes that “Twenty years ago, who but Jerry would have thought BSM would have a fishing club, drone racing, or a medical club? I am always impressed with how Jerry thinks of our students’ experience first. He leads by example and is a true ambassador for BSM.”

In his new role, Jerry will coordinate BSM events, partner with the Parent Association, and manage the facilities team. Jerry will remain on the leadership team and will continue to provide insight with his deep institutional knowledge and experience.

A job description for the new director of athletics and activities will be made on the careers page of the BSM website in the coming weeks.
