Carol Sprys can remember one of the first games she attended after being hired as Central High School’s new athletic secretary. “The hockey team played in Chelsea for a weekend tournament and I was down in line to watch, and I had my Central T-shirt on,” Sprys said. “A lady said to me, ‘Oh, you’re here for Central. Which one’s your kid?’ I went, ‘All of them. I’m the athletic secretary.’ She said, ‘You came to watch?’ I said, ‘Absolutely.’”
It is because of her dedication and support to Central’s student-athletes, coaches, and staff that Athletic Director Jonathan Goei said he recommended Sprys for the Michigan Interscholastic Athletic Administrators’ 2024 Athletic Administrative Assistant of the Year.
“Carol has been the greatest asset our athletic department has had since I have been here in this position,” Goei wrote in his recommendation letter. “She is a phenomenal support for not only me but also every single one of our coaches and student-athletes here at Forest Hills Central … Our community sees Carol attending events whether she is working or not — at home, on the road, and on the weekends.”
