There is a new man in charge of the Shoreham-Wading River School District's Athletic Department. The district has named Eric Bramoff as the new Director of Health, Physical Education, Athletics and Nurses effective July 1. Mr. Bramoff will be taking over for current Athletic Director Mr. Mark Passamonte, who has held the position for the past decade but will be retiring after the year.
Mr. Bramoff's resume is extensive and impressive. He has New York State professional certifications in school district leadership, physical education, K-12. He is affiliated with numerous professional organizations including as a Section XI policy committee member, a Section XI seeding committee member, a National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association member and a New York State Public High School Athletic Association member.
Mr. Bramoff joins the district after he was Director of Athletics for Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District. Before that he was the Director of Athletics in the Sag Harbor Union Free School District and the Bridgehampton School District. He earned a certificate of advanced study in educational administration from LeMoyne College, a masters in instructional technology from AIU Online and a bachelor of physical education, SUNY Cortland.
“We look forward to Mr. Bramoff’s leadership and progressive ideas in building on the many successes of our current athletic program,” Superintendent Gerard Poole said. “Mr. Bramoff will continue to move us in the positive direction of our health and physical education programs to ensure our students have the support systems needed to succeed.”
