Weston High Welcomes Back Mike McGrath

After an almost 20-year departure, Watertown native Mike McGrath has made his way back to Weston High, after recently being appointed as the school’s athletic director. McGrath was the Wildcats’ head baseball coach from 1991-1993. He has 14 years of baseball and hockey coaching experience, having also served as head varsity hockey coach at Natick High from 1997-2000 and at Mansfield High from 2000-2008. McGrath then became the athletic director for Randolph Public Schools, where he had worked the last three years.

During his coaching days, McGrath, 44, worked full-time in business sales, before deciding to make a career change.

“I had been working with athletic departments for a number of years,” said McGrath, who majored in sociology at Boston College. “I made a professional change. I enjoyed the atmosphere and decided this is the direction I wanted to go, and was fortunate to land back here in Weston.”

McGrath succeeds Chris Aufiero, who served as the Weston AD for three years, before departing to work in the Cambridge school system as coordinator of health and physical education.
