Stan Daugherty:
Athletic Director
Stan
Daugherty is in his second year as athletic director at Delta High
School. He is already making steps toward improving the quality of the
Athletic Department's programs. He brings with him numerous
coaching experiences; Stan also brings prior teaching experience.
He coached the boys' basketball team in the 1980's. He has
31 years of coaching experience. He has coached at five different
high schools (Turkey Run, Elwood, Marion-Bennett, Delta, and Hamilton
Southeastern) and two colleges (Anderson and Goshen). He graduated
from Alexandria High School in 1972. He received his bachelor's
degree in Physical Education from Taylor University in 1976, and his
master's degree in Physical Education from Ball State in 1981.
Stan also received a life license to teach Physical Education and
Mathematics, as well as Driver's Education.
The
Athletic Director position is a new venture for Mr. Daugherty. He
feels his biggest task at Delta High School is to keep all the
facilities and equipment up to date and manage his time in order to be
available to help all teams at Delta.
He has developed a Building Foundations character development program for athletes and
coaches, as well as established a unique atmosphere at the basketball
games this past winter for students with the formation of the Blue Crew.
Students received free shirts and also some incentives for attending
games and being loud. Halftime of every game there was a drawing
or giveaway for a few select Blue Crew members.
Daugherty has been married for 34 years to his high school sweetheart,
Brenda. He has three children, Amber, Travis and Trevor.
Even though this job brings about many challenges, Delta High School's
Athletic Director Stan Daugherty feels like he can "roll with the
punches" in order to tackle these challenges and help Delta continue its
winning tradition into the future.
