The only athletic director Kamehameha-Hawaii has ever known is stepping down.
Bob Wagner announced his retirement Monday, effective Aug. 1.
Wagner held the position for nearly 10 years, starting the athletics program at the school for the 2002-2003 school year.
”It has been a great honor to be the first Athletic Director at Kamehameha Hawai‘i for almost 10 years now,” Wagner said in a statement released by the school. “Kamehameha Schools is such a special institution with such a special mission, and to start a high school athletic program at Kamehameha Hawai‘i was an exciting opportunity and a once-in-a-lifetime challenge. Our family has been thankful for this professional opportunity as well as the opportunity be able to come back home and to be a part of this special ‘ohana.”
During Wagner’s tenure, the Warriors won four team state titles (girls basketball in 2005, ’07 and ’12 and girls soccer in 2008). The school has also taken home eight individual state championships and has won a total of 53 Big Island Interscholastic Federation titles, qualifying more than 100 teams for state tournaments.
A search for his successor will begin in a few weeks, the school said in its release.
