At the July 15, 2009 Board Meeting, the Fontana Unified School District announced Mark Olay as the new Athletic Director at Kaiser High School.

Mr. Olay has been the Offensive Line Coach at Kaiser High School since 2000, and coached Golf from 2000 to 2007.  Before coming to Kaiser, he coached JV softball and wrestling at Sequoia Middle School (1992-99), (offensive line) football at A.B. Miller High School (1991), (defensive back) football at Chaffey High School (1990), and (offensive line) football at Fontana High School (1981-85).  From 1972-88, Mr. Olay coached football at high schools in southern California, as well as in his home state of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Olay attended Slippery Rock University, just 50 minutes north of downtown Pittsburgh.  Slippery Rock is renowned for its stellar athletic programs and it prepared Mr. Olay for his successful career as both a coach and athletic director.  Mr. Olay is married to his lovely wife, Debbie, a former FUSD staff member.  When he isn't working, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and golfing.

Although he looks forward to starting his new position, Mr. Olay is pretty low-key in expressing his excitement.  He said, “A good athletic director is a ‘behind the scenes’-kind of guy.  If you were successful, ten years later people won’t remember your name.  I don’t want to upstage the coaches.”

“Kaiser is delighted to welcome Mark Olay as Athletic Director,” said Terry Abernathy, Principal of Kaiser High School. “His commitment to excellence, tremendous enthusiasm and passion will ensure success for all Kaiser High School student athletes.
