San Marcos High School has appointed Dr. Frann Wageneck as its new athletic director, bringing a longtime educator and administrator back to the campus where she graduated in 1984.
Wageneck spent her entire career with the Santa Barbara Unified School District, beginning as a head softball coach and assistant girls basketball coach in the early 1990s. Over the course of her career Wageneck earned credentials in school counseling and administration, she held a series of leadership positions, including assistant principal, principal and assistant superintendent, before retiring in 2022.
"Athletics are where students build identity, resilience and lifelong friendships — and I believe deeply in protecting that space for every young person who walks onto this campus” said Wageneck in a press release. “I am committed to making sure every coach, every team and every student-athlete at San Marcos feels supported, valued and set up to thrive."
