It only makes sense. Come Monday, Saugus’ Matthew Serino has a fitting new job.
Serino has stepped down as Winthrop High’s athletic director to become one at Saugus Middle High School, his alma mater. He replaces former Athletic Director Terri Pillsbury.
Serino was a two-time state champion in hockey (2003, 2004) and an All-Scholastic athlete for Saugus. He was inducted into the Saugus High Athletic Hall-of-Fame in 2018.
His father, Christie, was an accomplished three-sport athlete in town, coached hockey for more than 30 years, and was a Saugus High Hall-of-Famer. He died after a long, courageous battle with cancer in 2012. The Christie Serino Jr. Memorial Athletic Complex was named after him in 2021.
Matthew Serino was named Winthrop’s athletic director in 2014. Since then, his record speaks for itself with high participation, student-athlete success within the Northeastern Conference, and a boys ice hockey program reaching the Final 4 this past winter.
