SEAN BIRKS

Athletic Director

Audubon Community Schools

Sean has leveraged the Gipper platform to transform the connection between school, athletics, and community, highlighting achievements and celebrating students and staff in ways never done before. From spotlighting athletes qualifying for the state track meet to recognizing the generosity of community members who raised over $8,000 to support a football team’s state semifinal run, Sean ensures every success is seen, valued, and shared. He has also used the platform to unify the district through school-wide graphics, clear communication, and digital resources, keeping students, families, and spectators informed and engaged.

Sean’s leadership extends far beyond digital recognition. He has applied lessons from national AD conventions to develop a district branding guide, showcasing projects like gym remodels and new logo placements while strengthening school pride. Balancing roles as head football coach, 7–12 Activities Director, 6th grade science teacher, and 5–8 At-Risk Director, Sean exemplifies dedication, innovation, and community-centered leadership.
