Milford, MA – The Milford Public Schools is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Steven DiVitto to the role of Athletic Director, effective immediately. DiVitto was named to the position in an interim capacity in late February. He now takes over in a full-time capacity.

Of note, DiVitto’s teams have won state championships in softball (2017) and Legion baseball (2014), and he has been recognized as state Softball Coach of the Year (2017).
“As a proud alumnus, former player, and coach who grew up in this community, stepping into the permanent role of Athletic Director is an honor. Having experienced Milford Athletics from the field to the sidelines, this leadership position has been a long-term goal of mine,” said DiVitto. “The rich legacy of Milford Athletics is something I deeply respect, and I am fully committed to upholding and building upon the high standards our community expects. I look forward to leading our programs with passion, purpose, and an unwavering dedication to our student-athletes and the community I am proud to call home.”
Dr. Josh Otlin, Principal of Milford High School, shared, “Milford High School has a long and distinguished history of success, not only in athletic competitions but in producing student-athletes that are community leaders and champions in the classroom. Steven is a distinguished alumnus, successful coach, and respected school leader. I have no doubt that he will continue and enhance the tradition of Scarlet Hawk Pride that our student-athletes and coaches have cultivated for generations.”
DiVitto takes over a Milford Public School Athletic Department that includes:

Milford High School is a member of the highly competitive and very successful Hockomock League, where member schools routinely compete for state championships in nearly every boys’ and girls’ sport.

Steven checks those boxes,” said Dr. Craig Consigli, Superintendent of Schools. “I am very excited to work closely with Steven as the next Milford Public Schools’ Athletic Director. He is a Scarlet Hawk through and through. Having grown up in the Milford community, and having competed and coached at a championship level, he knows what it takes to win.
