RIDGEWOOD — At the end of last year, the New York Yankees said goodbye to a captain that wore No. 2. Meanwhile, the Ridgewood High School Athletic Department bid farewell to two captains.
Director Nick Scerbo and administrative assistant Maureen Grieco announced their retirement at the end of 2014 and were formally honored by their RHS peers Monday night with a dinner at the Ridgewood Elks Lodge.
Scerbo, who was hired to the newly-created position of Athletic and Wellness Director in 2010, will remain at that post until the end of the month. Starting Feb. 1, Ridgewood swimming coach and social studies teacher Keith Cook begins his term as interim AD, while RHS Principal Dr. Tom Gorman will oversee the Wellness Department until a permanent replacement is hired.
“Originally, I was going to go at the end of the [calendar] year,” Scerbo said. “This way will make the transition smoother, since Keith still has swimming going on and is still teaching.
In February, “the semester will end, the dual-meet season will be over, so it’ll make things easier.”
