    Coach Atkins 
    2024 Track Team

    Welcome to the Perth Amboy High School Girls Track & Field Program! My name is Sean Atkins, and I am proud to graduate from Perth Amboy High School, class of 2006. During my time at Perth Amboy High, I was actively involved in athletics, playing football, winter track, and spring track for all four years. I had the honor of serving as a two-time captain for both the Football and Track teams, experiences that instilled in me the values of teamwork, leadership, and perseverance.

    After high school, I continued my academic and athletic journey at Kean University, earning my bachelor's and master's degrees. My passion for sports and mentoring young athletes led me to a rewarding career in coaching. Over the past ten years, I have had the privilege of coaching Track, dedicating my first eight years to the boys' team and the last two years to the girls' team.

    I am excited to bring my background in athletics and education. My goal is to support and guide students as they navigate their academic and personal challenges, helping them reach their full potential both on and off the field. I look forward to working with the students, parents, and staff at Perth Amboy High School to create a positive and nurturing environment for all.
