We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of IUP legend Frank Cignetti Sr.

Coach Cignetti was a force within Divison II from 1986-2005. He lead a record of 182-50-1 during his time at IUP. We give the Cignetti family our deepest condolences.

Most great teachers didn’t start out that way! But…

1) They reflected on what worked and what didn’t.

2) They learned from their colleagues.

Every teacher can be a BETTER teacher!
