Greenwood Athletic Director Dr. Dustin Smith has accepted a new position in the Broken Arrow School District in Oklahoma.
After a 7 year stint with the Greenwood School District, it was announced that Dr. Dustin Smith will be leaving for an Executive Director of Athletics roll in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. During Dr. Smith’s tenure at Greenwood he oversaw eleven athletic programs win twenty-two State Championships. With the most recent being the Girls Basketball in March, with four more teams vying for an opportunity at a State Championship this week between Baseball, Softball, and Soccer.
“We have experienced success, but I don’t take credit for any of it personally. It has been an investment of time and a willingness to serve others.” Smith said. “I subscribe whole-heartedly to the saying that I serve so others can shine. Any successes I have had have been as a direct result of team-first approach. I look forward to serving the coaches and student athletes at BA so they can shine.” [Quote sourced from Broken Arrow Public Schools]
Dr. Smith’s signature style was felt during the height of Covid, when he posted videos weekly regarding new rules and regulations. For his work during that time and overall what he had accomplished he earned the Emerging Industry Leader for Interscholastic Athletics by the National Center for Spectator Sport Safety and Security.
It was common practice to see Dr. Smith driving a bus to an away game or even donning a headset from time to time and sharing the booth with Tim Terry on a sports live stream.
Whomever Greenwood selects as their next Athletic Director they will certainly have some shoes to fill and a legacy to uphold. From H.B. Stewart to Jerry Cecil and now Dr. Dustin Smith, the Greenwood Athletic Programs has been extremely blessed with excellent leadership.
From Resident News Network Sports, we want to thank Dr. Dustin Smith for what he has done for our team of writers and photographers. We wish him and his family the best of luck on his future success at Broken Arrow.
