District Athletics

Amherst Central School District

Robert Adams has transformed Amherst Central School District’s athletic program into a unifying force for students, families, and staff. In just four years, he has led with accessibility and equity, ensuring that all students—regardless of background, ability level, or resources—have meaningful access to sports and feel valued in the program. Rob has modernized how athletics operates and communicates by implementing a district-wide athletics communication log that streamlines schedules, facilities, transportation, and game operations, and by launching district-branded digital content through Gipper to consistently spotlight athletes, coaches, and teams across platforms.

He also builds community through wellness nights, youth sports events, senior recognition games, and other shared traditions that connect the broader Amherst community. Through his leadership, athletics is not just about competition—it’s a visible, inclusive extension of the school day that supports student success.
