SPECIAL EVENTS

Greetings Athletics Family,

It is with great appreciation and a little bittersweet emotion that we invite you to join us in celebrating the retirement of Rocky Gillis, whose impact on Broward County Public Schools athletics spans 39 years, countless students, and an entire community of colleagues who have been fortunate to work alongside him.

Rocky has been more than a leader; he has been a mentor, advocate, problem-solver, and friend to so many across our district. His dedication to student-athletes and unwavering support of our programs have left a lasting legacy that will be felt for years to come. We hope you will join us as we come together to honor him and send him off with the appreciation he so richly deserves.
