Ron Wise,
LHS 1990
Makes
Section II History
 Ron
Wise, a 1990 graduate of Linton High School, made history
recently when he was named the next head football coach at
Cairo-Durham High School. With his appointment, Wise is the
first African American varsity head football coach in Section II
history.
Wise played on
Linton’s junior varsity team in 1988-89 and then on the varsity
team the following year. He coached modified and freshmen
teams at Bishop Gibbon High School and Schenectady High School
and was assistant coach at Hudson Valley Community College.
“I am very
excited to head up the football program at Cairo-Durham,” said
Wise. “The discipline and hard work I learned as a student
athlete in Schenectady has shaped me into the coach I am
today.”
Wise graduated
from Hudson Valley Community College and SUNY Albany where he
majored in Africana Studies and double minored in education and
literature. Since then, he has also published four books.
He is married to
Nicole Wise, a third grade teacher at Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Elementary School in Schenectady.
