Congrats to Greg Maring, Athletic Director at Salina Central High School, on being named the KIAAA - Kansas Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association AD of the Week!

Maring is in his 29th year in education and his 19th year as Athletic Director, all of which have been spent serving Salina Central High School. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Kansas Wesleyan University and his Master of Science in Educational and Administrative Leadership from Kansas State University. In addition to his work at Salina Central, Maring has served on the KIAAA Board of Directors from 2019 through 2023 and was named KIAAA District Athletic Director of the Year in 2019.

“I am blessed to be at Salina Central,” Maring says. “I have the opportunity to work with amazing coaches, administrators, teachers, support staff, and more importantly students. We have some great kids here and I enjoy interacting with them on a daily basis.”

Maring’s passion for athletics began as a student, where being part of a team and the relationships built through sports left a lasting impact on him. Those experiences, along with the influence of caring coaches and teachers, shaped his desire to become an Athletic Director. His leadership style emphasizes collaboration, open communication, and trust, using multiple perspectives to help build a positive culture for students, coaches, and families.

Beyond wins and losses, Maring defines success by the growth of student-athletes as people. He values coaches who push students to be their best both on and off the field and believes athletics play a vital role in school spirit and community pride. Following the challenges of COVID, he is especially proud of helping lead a culture shift at Salina Central through school-wide character themes and lessons that originated within the athletic department.

One of the most rewarding parts of his career is seeing former students return and hearing about their lives beyond high school, knowing he played a small role in their development. “I am proud to say that I am a Mustang,” Maring says.

Greg and his wife, Jennifer, will celebrate 30 years of marriage this summer. They are proud parents of two children, Dawson and Makenzie, both graduates of Kansas State University. Maring is quick to credit the strong administrative team, coaches, and athletic department staff at Salina Central for their daily work and support.

Join us in recognizing Greg Maring for his leadership and impact on Kansas school activities! 👏
