Greenwich High School Athletic Director Announces Retirement

GREENWICH, CT — On Thursday, longtime Greenwich High School Athletic Director Gus Lindine announced his retirement, effective Jan. 1, 2022.

The search for Lindine’s replacement will begin immediately, according to an announcement from Greenwich Public Schools. Lindine will assist the athletic department during the transition to a new director.

"I genuinely consider myself very fortunate for being associated with so many impressive student-athletes and coaches throughout my years at Greenwich High School," Lindine said in a news release from GPS Thursday. "It has been an honor and a privilege to have been a member of our athletic program and all of our proud traditions. I have enjoyed sharing many memorable moments and thank our parents and community for their enthusiastic commitment to our young people."

Lindine was hired in September of 2005, and helped grow the GHS Athletic Department to 42 different sports, consisting of 99 teams. In 2012, 2014 and 2018, GHS was named as the top Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference (FCIAC) program.

The program was also named as the state of Connecticut's top athletic program twice by leading national media outlets.

“Gus has silently watched our student-athletes compete from the sidelines for more than a decade and has been a great asset to our entire community. He will be sorely missed," GHS Principal Ralph Mayo said in a news release. "We wish him much happiness in his retirement."

Superintendent of GPS Dr. Toni Jones said Lindine "has shown an unwavering commitment to our student-athletes throughout the years."

"Our staff has not seen anyone more dedicated; our students have not been led by a better leader; our community will not have a better friend," Jones added in a news release.

Prior to coming to Greenwich, Lindine was the AD at Fairfield High School for 11 years. In 2015, the FCIAC inducted him into its Hall of Fame. Lindine has long been a member of the FCIAC Executive Board and Board of Directors.
