Assistant Principal, FHS
My 1980 Activities:
Varsity Football
SUNY Brockport Hall of Fame - 1986
Fairport High School Wall of Fame - 1999
Section V Football Hall of Fame - 1999
"The Hall of Fame induction was a real thrill and honor for me but it would have
never happened without the great players and the tremendous community support we
had."
Mr. Santini graduated from Fairport High in 1957 and so did his wife. He taught and coached in Morrisville, NY, for 5 years and in LeRoy, NY, for 9 years before returning home to Fairport. The rest, as they say, is history!
Mr. Santini is currently serving on the board of directors of Operation Offense, Inc., a task force of representatives from Section V and Park Ridge Chemical Dependency. Visit their website at OperationOffense.org
Update:
Now in his 7th year as the coach of running backs at the University of Rochester, Coach Santini has also returned to FHS and is sharing an assistant principle position with Mr. Clark. In a recent (4/7/02) email, Mr. Santini wrote:
"I am back working at FHS - started in January and will go on until graduation. I am job sharing an assistant principal's position with Gary Clark the former swim coach. It works out great for us because we work every other day. We are both really having a good time!!"
