Dr. Schlierf was appointed to the role on Tuesday, March 28, after he was recommended for selection by a hiring committee.
“It was important to us that we had a thorough and inclusive search process to find our next athletic director,” said North Attleborough High School Principal Peter Haviland. “I would like to thank the dozens of stakeholders who either served on the search committee, attended the finalist forum, or simply provided feedback to us about the candidates. It led to a great outcome.”
Dr. Schlierf will begin in his new role on July 1. He replaces longtime Athletic Director Kurt Kummer.
“On behalf of the entire district, I would like to thank Kurt Kummer for his years of dedicated service to the North Attleborough community, and to our student-athletes,” said Superintendent Antonucci. “He leaves a strong foundation for Dr. Schlierf to build upon.”

He currently serves as one of the chairs of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) District Athletic Committee, where he works closely with the Executive Director of the MIAA / Massachusetts School Administrators’ Association.
While serving at Sharon Public Schools, he also played a crucial role in the process to build the new Sharon High School, from project design through the completion of the project earlier this year.
Dr. Schlierf previously served as assistant principal at the University Preparatory School in Rochester, New York as well as the athletic director and assistant principal of Our Lady of Mercy School in Rochester, New York.
