The Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District is proud to announce that Eric Caballero, district director of physical education, athletics, driver education and health, has been named as the 2024 New York State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance Director of the Year.

According to the association, this award is given to an outstanding director who has contributed significantly to the improvement of physical education programs in servicing the youth of his/her own school district, and/or in New York State.

On behalf of the entire Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District, we congratulate Mr. Caballero on being named the NYS AHPERD director of the year,” said Superintendent of Schools Michael Harrington. “This well-deserved recognition is a testament to his unwavering dedication and leadership for our athletic programs. His contributions have not only elevated our district’s achievements but have also inspired our students, coaches and community to strive for greatness. We thank Mr. Caballero for this positive impact he has made on our school community.”
