building champions A LETTER FROM THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Dear Friends of Phoenixville Athletics,

Thank you for your support of Phoenixville Athletics during the 2019-2020 academic year.

Whether you are a student-athlete, alumnus, parent, staff member or a fan, you are an integral

part of the success of our team. It is my hope that you will enjoy the PASD Athletics Year in

Review and relive with pride the highlights, accomplishments, and experiences provided by our

1,510 student-athletes who compose our 78 High School and Middle School teams.

The 151st school year for the Phoenixville Area School District closed unlike any that we have

seen. The cancellation of numerous events throughout the country, including the PIAA Spring

Sports season and our PAHS Graduation ceremony, makes the end to this school year feel

incomplete in a number of ways. Time and life are precious, and the collective pause that we

have been forced to take can make us cherish our time together even more.

We wish the best of luck to all of our graduating seniors, as they enter the next chapter of their

lives. The Class of 2020 will see ten of their peers continue to participate in sports at the

intercollegiate level and while others may have played their last game; their participation in

athletics at Phoenixville will help them conquer the challenges ahead.

PASD Athletics remains committed to the growth and development of our student-athletes in the

classroom, in the community and on the field of play. We will continue to work hard each day as

one, dedicated to providing a positive and memorable experience for student-athletes.

We look forward to another great year in 2020-2021 and invite you to stay connected to PASD

by attending athletic events and continuing to support our fine young people.

Thank you again for your continued support of the defenders of the Purple and the White!

Matt Gionta
