Submitted by Sheridan Community Schools
At Sheridan Community Schools’ (SHS) recent board meeting, members approved Jared Green as the next Sheridan High School athletic director.
SHS welcomes Green as he brings extensive experience in athletic administration, development, and student-athlete support. He also brings a strong commitment to building programs that serve students, families, and the school community.
“After an extensive search that included many outstanding candidates, Sheridan High School is excited to welcome Mr. Jared Green to the Blackhawk family as our new Athletic Director,” SHS Principal Rick Davis said. “Mr. Green’s experience, leadership, and vision will help continue to move Sheridan athletics forward with pride and success, while maintaining a strong commitment to the “student” component of our student-athletes.”
Green holds a Master’s in Sport Administration from Ball State University and a Bachelor’s in Sport Marketing and Management from Indiana University. His academic background, along with his professional experience, puts him in a great position to lead and support Sheridan’s athletic programs.
Green, most recently, served as Associate Athletic Director for Development at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif. While there, he oversaw athletic development initiatives, including fundraising, alumni relations, and donor engagement. He supervised the advancement team, managed budgets, and served as the administrator for the baseball team. He also helped raise funds for various projects, including a new basketball arena and upgrades to soccer, baseball, and golf facilities.
Before Pepperdine, Green worked at IU-Indianapolis. While there, he helped guide growth in athletics through fundraising and sponsorship. While there, the athletic department had three record-breaking fundraising years, launched an NIL collective, and established new scholarships to benefit student-athletes. He also served as the administrator for men’s soccer, women’s volleyball, and women’s tennis.
Green’s experience also includes roles at Austin Peay State University, the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, and Ball State University. But it all started when he was a student manager and bullpen catcher for IU Baseball. This gave him a firsthand insight into the student-athlete experience at the collegiate level.
“I am truly honored to join the Sheridan family as the next Athletic Director,” Green said. “I look forward to elevating the experiences for each of our student-athletes and teams, retaining and growing participation at the middle and high school, and ensuring that Blackhawk student-athletes are positioned for success academically, athletically, and in life after graduation. My family and I are excited to return to a community we have proudly called home for much of the past four years.”
Green and his wife, Ashlynn, are parents to Cali and Jaxon, and the family also includes their dog, Chloe. Outside of school, Green is a fan of Indiana University, the Chicago Cubs, the Indianapolis Colts, and the Indiana Pacers. Sheridan High School looks forward to the leadership that Jared Green will bring to Blackhawk athletics and is excited for the future of its programs.
