We are pleased to announce that Mr. Matt Riebe has been selected as our new Director of Athletics and Activities! Yesterday, Monday, November 20, was his first official day at GRACE!
He will be instrumental in growing and elevating the opportunities in athletics and activities for students across all GRACE schools. He will also be working in close relationship with our GRACE Athletic Directors and GRACE Principals.
Matt brings his passion for athletics, Catholic education, and coaching others to GRACE. He graduated from UWL with a Bachelors degree in Sport Management. To start his career, Matt spent five seasons working in media relations for his favorite sport, baseball, with three franchises in the Northwoods League – Wisconsin Rapids, La Crosse, and Rochester (MN). Writing about two league MVPs and multiple future MLB players were special opportunities. He then followed his love for collegiate sports managing sports information and events management for 19 varsity teams at Viterbo University in La Crosse. God has led Matt to other adventures in sports photography, TV play-by-play commentary, social media administration, and coaching high school track and field.
Matt married his wife, Renee, this June and lives in Howard with their dog, Lina. If you recognize him from the GRACE community, it might be because they are actually parishioners at St. John the Baptist Parish!
Please join us in welcoming Matt to GRACE!
The Green Bay Area Catholic Education (GRACE) School System consists of nine schools. We focus on the development of each student grounded in our foundation of Catholic faith for grades PK3-10.
