John Romagnoli Named New Athletic Director of A.B. Miller

At the July 14, 2010 meeting of the Fontana Unified School District Board of Education, the Board approved John Romagnoli as the new Athletic Director of A.B. Miller High School.

Mr. Romagnoli was born in California and after spending several years moving back and forth between California and New Jersey, his family ultimately settled in Riverside.  However, seeing a good thing over here in Fontana, Mr. Romagnoli transferred to Fohi and is a proud graduate of the class of 1986.

After completing his undergrad work as an English/Pre-Med major at Cal State San Bernardino, Mr. Romagnoli said, “I was pretty certain I’d go into the medical field in some capacity, but needed a break from school.”  So, he tried out several jobs, including construction, comprehensive PE in a K-8 private school, and even sales for a tile company.  After taking some time off to travel through Europe, Mr. Romagnoli began subbing.  “My pre-med units allowed me to accept a position teaching science at A.B. Miller in October of 1996,” he said. “I coached basketball as an assistant that year and eventually moved over to teach English the following year.”  Mr. Romagnoli has been the Boys’ Varsity Basketball Coach at A.B. Miller for 11 seasons.

Coincidentally, Mr. Romagnoli met Ed Kearby, Athletic Director at Summit High School, when he was just out of college and Mr. Kearby was coaching Varsity Basketball at Fohi.  They met when their respective men's league teams got into a bit of a squabble during a game.  “We were on opposite teams and it was pretty heated!” said Mr. Romagnoli.  “He later found out that I was coaching an 8th grade team, and, oddly, called me to interview for a position as his JV Coach, which I accepted and we have been friends ever since.”

Mr. Romagnoli will fill the position left vacant when longtime Athletic Director Dwight Berry retired at the end of the 2009-10 school year.  “We are delighted to have John move from teacher/coach to our Athletic Director,” said Principal Heather Griggs.  “Mr. Romagnoli has served as a teacher, coach and mentor for hundreds of A.B. Miller students; I am confident that he will bring the same leadership to our athletic program.”

“I have been so blessed with the caliber of young men that have gone through our program,” said Mr. Romagnoli.  “We have coached some great guys who I am really proud of.  On top of that, my lead assistant for 10 seasons has been David Mead (a childhood friend and teacher at Ruble Middle).  It has been a great ride, and I look forward to supporting all of our athletes and coaches at A.B. Miller, a school I am extremely proud to be part of.”
