After fielding more than 100 candidates, the district chose LeVar Ridgeway to fill retiring district Athletic Director Bill Haury's shoes next school year.
LeVar Ridgeway — current assistant athletic director at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee — will head up Shorewood athletics next school year after the School Board approved his hiring Tuesday night. Ridgeway will oversee Shorewood High School and Intermediate School athletics next year, with a salary of $50,000, not including a fringe benefits package. The School Board budgeted $45,000 for the position, but Superintendent Martin Lexmond said as the district has gone through the hiring process for other staff members in recent months, salaries have balanced out. Athletic boosters had asked for school officials to consider boosting the budgeted salary to attract more talented candidates. Ridgeway has spent the past 11 years in UWM …

With Shorewood High School Athletic Director Bill Haury, who many credit with turning around a struggling sports program in the district, set to retire at the end of the school year, boosters are concerned about attracting the right candidate.
Many who are active in Shorewood High School athletics — coaches, boosters — credit Athletic Director Bill Haury with turning around a struggling sports program in the district. After seven years at the helm, programs like the girls basketball team, which lost 45 games in a row over four seasons, have finally realized success under Haury. "I've coached boys basketball for 30 years, in the city conference, and I've seen a lot of ADs," boys basketball head coach Phil Jones said. "And I'd have to say Bill is the best that I've seen." But Haury is set to retire at the end of the school year, leaving coaches and boosters with concerns over who will take over as director of athletics and vigilant about attracting and hiring an experienced, …

After 25 years in Shorewood schools, Bill Haury is retiring. The School Board will consider his retirement request Tuesday night.
When school lets out for summer break, Bill Haury will say goodbye for good after 25 years in the Shorewood School District. Haury has served in different roles in the district over the more than two decades, most recently as dean of students and district athletic director. "...

The board will consider his retirement request during a regular meeting slated for Tuesday night. Haury's time of service …

Runners will line up at the starting line at 10 a.m. on Nov. 10, as the Fowl 5000 5k fun run and walk, formerly known as the Shorewood Turkey Trot, gets under way for the 18th time. “The main reason for the change is to make it unique and to highlight the 'fowl' awards that the runners can win”, Shorewood School District Athletic Director Bill Haury said. Haury added he wanted to get away from the generic naming of “Turkey Trot," which many fun runs around the state are coined. Additionally, organizers have altered the race's route this year, with the start and finish line on the Shorewood High School track, instead of at River Park in years past. In an effort to make race-day more efficient, Haury said, “people will be closer to the …
