Director of Athletics Matt Manley, who has been at Lab since fall 2023, will leave at the end of the school year, according to an email to the Lab community from Director of Schools Tori Jueds .

On June 17, former Director of Athletics Dave Ribbens, who retired in June 2023, will return as interim director for one year. The search for a permanent director of athletics will begin in the fall.
