New Challenge
Zach Matusak is a firm believer in the positive effect sports can have on those who play them. He will soon bring that passion to the Mars Area School District.
He was approved by the school board Tuesday night to take over as the district’s athletic director. Scott Heinauer, who has held the position for over 30 years, announced his retirement last month and will officially vacate the post Aug. 5.
Matusak, currently the athletic director for the Sharon School District in Mercer County, plans to soon move south and commence his new role in August.
“Mars is a very prestigious school with great academics and the sports teams have had a high level of success,” said Matusak, 31. “I could tell from my two interviews that Mars has genuine people who support athletics and understand their value.”
Prior to becoming Sharon’s first-ever full-time athletic director last summer, Matusak was an assistant AD for Haddonfield School District in New Jersey.
