Pursuing Victory With Honor

Dear Chautauqua Lake Families,

I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and let you know how honored and humbled I am to be the new Supervisor of Athletics at Chautauqua Lake. Over the past 8 years I have served as an elementary teacher within the district at both the 2nd and 5th grade level. In addition to my teaching responsibilities at Chautauqua Lake I have also had the opportunity to coach various sports including baseball and football at the varsity level. Through these experiences I have become aware of the rich and progressive tradition of Chautauqua Lake Athletics. I look forward to continuing to build our athletic programs with the help of the administration, Board of Education, coaches, parents, and our student-athletes.

In order to compete at a championship level Chautauqua Lake has provided our athletes with unrivaled resources and facilities. This offseason our coaches and athletes have been working diligently by competing in summer leagues, attending camps, and hosting workouts. As the school year begins our athletes will continue the proud tradition of displaying this same work ethic in the classroom. For the past several years the majority of our teams have been named Scholar Athlete Teams by New York State.

At Chautauqua Lake, our sports programs are more than just athletic competitions; we view them as platforms for building character, fostering teamwork, and promoting lifelong skills that extend far beyond the playing field. We firmly believe athletics play an essential role in shaping the lives of our students. I look forward to working alongside all of you as we continue to support our student-athletes and add to the championship banners hanging in the gymnasium!

Sincerely,

Bryan Bongiovanni

Supervisor of Athletics
