I am delighted to share with you that Steve McCarthy has agreed to serve as the next Director of Athletics at Trinity School, beginning on July 1, 2022. A graduate of the University of North Texas, Coach McCarthy is an experienced coach and leader in independent schools. He is currently serving as the Director of Athletics at Casady School in Oklahoma City. In his seven years in that role, Coach McCarthy led a program that includes 21 sports with competition beginning in the fourth grade. Prior to his time at Casady, Coach McCarthy spent seven years at Cistercian Preparatory School in Irving, Texas, one year at Oakridge School in Arlington, Texas, and then returned to Cistercian for the next 15 years. During his career, he has taught Physical Education and Anatomy and coached football, track, basketball, baseball, and soccer. All of the schools where Coach McCarthy has worked are members of ISAS, and he has a deep understanding of the dynamics of athletic programs in schools where students excel in academics, athletics, arts, and many other areas. Described as a “kid magnet” and a great organizer, Coach McCarthy is the father of two grown sons, Dalton (29) and Adam (23), and is looking forward to returning to this part of the world as he grew up in Borger, Texas. In his spare time, he enjoys golf and skiing. I want to thank the Administrative Leadership Team, coaches, and the Search Advisory Committee for their work in selecting such an outstanding leader. We look forward to introducing Coach McCarthy to you so be on the lookout for those opportunities in the spring and summer of 2022.
