Five-time state champion wrestling coach Dennis Charbonneau
will take a step away from the mat as he was named athletic director and assistant principal at Wamego High School during Monday night’s USD 320 school board meeting.

Charbonneau has spent 25 years as a chemistry and physics instructor, and was a head wrestling coach for 19 years, from 1996-2009 at Clay Center and the last five seasons at Emporia. He’s been named Kansas wrestling coach of the year eight times.
