Newton Country Day is pleased to welcome Warren Perry as our new Director of Athletics!
Warren Perry is an accomplished athletics professional with over a decade of experience in sports leadership and program development. For the past ten years, Mr. Perry served as the Director of Aquatics at Newton's sister school in New York City, Convent of the Sacred Heart, where he led the swim team to three consecutive state titles and nine straight league championships. He also spearheaded strategic programs in sport, leadership development, and network initiatives, including the Sacred Heart Network Summer Project on service through aquatics.
As a dedicated member of the Sacred Heart network, Mr. Perry prioritizes "wise freedom" by empowering students and athletes to grow through sports and wellness. He especially loves Goal Five, Criteria One and encourages his teams to discover their potential, learn from challenges, and develop empathy, all while building resilience that extends beyond the playing field and into students' everyday lives.
A North Carolina native, Mr. Perry attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he competed as a varsity swimmer. He holds two master’s degrees—one in Sport Management and the other in Education. For fifteen years, he taught undergraduate coursework in coaching theories, demonstrating his passion for developing leaders in sport.
Outside of his professional pursuits, Mr. Perry enjoys sailing, competing in Ironman races, and spending time with his partner and their three dogs.
Mr. Perry will be at our Admission Open House on Sunday, Nov. 3. Please join us then to meet Mr. Perry and to welcome him to the Newton Country Day community.
