NASHUA – Bishop Guertin High School will soon begin a search for a new athletic director.

Cardinals current AD Pete Paladino told The Telegraph he is transitioning soon away from the athletic director’s job into a position that has been vacant at the school the last few years, dealing with alumni development and relations.

“This could be a positive thing for me to help the school in a different way,” said Paladino, who graduated from BG in 1981 and has been the school’s athletic director since the summer of 2012. “The game has changed a little bit and I’ve done it for 32 years.”

Bishop Guertin principal Jason Strniste said the school will likely organize a search committee and hopes to have a new AD by the first half of the summer.
