Dan Sylvester Steps Down After 13 Years | Concord News

After 13 years as athletic director and 25 at Franklin High, Dan Sylvester is stepping down — but not entirely. He’s leaving his full-time role to take on two new classes part-time, returning to the classroom he loves. His legacy? He rebuilt the school’s sportsmanship reputation, earned two awards, and spearheaded the new gym — now hosting volleyball and basketball for the first time in 30 years. A scoreboard in that gym bears his name. But with the district’s budget exceeding the tax cap by $2 million and no funding for athletics this year, the future of Franklin’s programs hangs in the balance. No new AD has been hired, registration deadlines loom, and officials are scrambling — turning to booster clubs and fundraisers to keep sports alive.
