Carver has New Athletic Director and Assistant Athletic Director

Michael Winbush and Danny Piggott

In its Thursday, June 20 issue, The Chronicle has an article about Michael Winbush being named the new athletic director at Carver High School and Danny Piggott being named the new assistant athletic director.

Here is an excerpt: 

Carver High School recently named Michael Winbush as its new athletic director and Danny Piggott as the assistant athletic director. Winbush is currently a physical education and health teacher, and Piggott serves as a math teacher.

“Mr. Winbush and Mr. Piggott are two very conscientious professionals,” said Principal Ronald Travis. “They both have a great deal of pride.  As principal, my primary job is to hire competent, caring teachers and improve the test scores of Carver High School. I needed persons in the athletic department who can take care of business without constant supervision. I feel we have accomplished this with the hiring of these two gentlemen.”

Winbush is stepping into the shoes of Aaron Bailey, who announced earlier this year that he was exiting the AD job at Carver. Travis said he was looking for someone who has the ability to continue the process that Bailey began.

“As athletic director, Mr. Bailey began the process of upgrading our facilities. During his tenure, the athletic facilities at Carver High School have undergone a major facelift. Mr. Bailey also required all coaches to earn their commercial driver’s license, which has resulted in a reduction in transportation bills for Carver High School,” said Travis. “In addition, he revitalized a golf program which had folded prior to his arrival. These improvements have been accomplished with very little resources. I’m very pleased with the job he did.”
