Notre Dame High School in Chattanooga announced that Brian Gill has accepted its invitation to serve as athletics director.
Formerly the head age group coach and swim director at Baylor School in Chattanooga, Mr. Gill officially joined Notre Dame on Aug. 11. He will be responsible for the oversight of the athletic department.
For the past 16 years, Mr. Gill has been at Baylor, where he managed, marketed, and coached for the school swim and club programs. He helped develop Baylor into one of the top swimming programs in the country. As the head age group coach, his athletes and teams earned many accolades, including being named Southeastern Swimming champions, Southeastern middle school team champions, and numerous Southeastern Swimming Zone Team members.
Before working at Baylor, Mr. Gill was the head age group coach for the Raleigh Swimming Association in Raleigh, N.C. He helped expand the association’s program from 120 swimmers to 280 swimmers in four years.
