Smithtown Central School District Director of Athletics, Jason Lambert, has received the Emerging Athletic Administrator Award from his colleagues at Section XI. The award is presented annually to school leaders who “demonstrate an ongoing commitment to athletics, a willingness to get involved, constant professional development, and continuing education… and to promote Athletics and Physical Education in a positive manner.”
Flanked by former SCSD Athletic Directors, Pat Smith and Nick Schroeder, Coach Lambert said he was honored to receive the award.
“It is a tremendous honor to be the recipient of the NYSAAA Dr. Liam Frawley Emerging Athletic Director for Section XI," Lambert said, "It is truly humbling since this award is voted on by the other Athletic Directors in Suffolk County. I am very grateful for having the opportunity to work in Section XI, and thankful to be able to represent the Smithtown School District! It was an honor to be able to share the award with previous Smithtown Athletic Director’s Nick Schroeder and Pat Smith who were able to make it to the awards luncheon."
Lambert was hired as district AD in 2022, and has served the Smithtown community for 23 years as an educator and coach.
Well deserved, Coach Lambert!
