After receiving over 80 applications and interviewing 10 candidates, president Nan Bone and the STA administration have chosen Mr. Mark Hough to fill the Athletic Director position. Hough is currently the assistant Athletic Director and sports information director at Greenhill School in Addison, Texas. Hough also serves as the sports information director for the southwest preparatory conference, which includes “producing and maintaing the official conference website and collaborating media relations for the conference, made up of 18 private schools in Texas and Oklahoma,” Bone said in an letter the school is sending out to STA parents, informing them about the new director.

“I think you will find [Hough] a very approachable athletic administrator,” Bone wrote. “I believe he will collaborate with coaches, athletes and parents to develop the full potential of each of our young women athletes.”

Hough will be replacing current part-time Athletic Director Mike Egner, who has held the position for 10 years. Next year, Egner will become a full-time social studies teacher and devote his time completely to teaching.
