From the sports field to leading with excellence, the values of teamwork, discipline, and respect that you instilled in us continue to guide me every single day.
It’s also important to give a special shoutout to the amazing families that support Coach DuBard. Teachers, friends, and loved ones who cheer on these incredible individuals behind the scenes – you are just as much a part of this journey.
Coach DuBard, you are a legend. Your impact is immeasurable, and you’ve earned this honor and so much more. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you've done for Dreher, for the Class of 2007, and for all the future generations who will benefit from your mentorship.
