New head coach comes to program with lengthy coaching experience.
Notre Dame Preparatory School announced today that the athletic department has hired Mark McGreevy, a longtime religion teacher at Notre Dame's middle school, as its new head girls swimming and diving coach, effective immediately. McGreevy replaces Nimrod Shapira Bar-Or, who has resigned to pursue other opportunities.
“We are very pleased that Mark has agreed to take over the girls program at Notre Dame,” said Betty Wroubel, athletic director and assistant principal at Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy. “He is totally committed to the mission of NDPMA and has considerable experience with our swimming program."
McGreevy, who holds a bachelor’s degree from U-D Mercy and a teaching certification from Oakland University, comes to this new position after nearly 40 years of coaching experience that began when he was an assistant swim coach at Harper Woods Notre Dame High School, his high school alma mater (1976).
He currently is assistant boys swim coach at Notre Dame and has held that position since the team's inception in 2010-11. Since then, NDP's boys team has attained a state ranking as high as 8th. The team's first state meet appearance was in 2013 and the Irish have been there every year since.
During the 1990s, McGreevy also developed several intramural sports programs for a number of local Catholic schools and parishes in multiple sports, including basketball, baseball and soccer. He's also a former soccer coach for Notre Dame Marist Academy and he's coached club soccer for the U-12 to U-17 age groups.
