Nolan Dowling, Athletic Director

Saint Viator Athletics are built on a rich tradition of excellence, and we’re proud to carry that legacy forward. My team is committed to providing an exceptional experience for every student-athlete and their family, grounded in professionalism, preparation, teamwork, and self-discipline. While our athletes gain lasting memories and life lessons during their time here, they also leave equipped with the character and skills to thrive beyond high school.
