About Head Coach Samuel Rosario
Samuel graduated from Bowdoin College with a BA in both Asian studies and Government and Legal Studies. His previous experience includes lifelong mentoring of new college students transitioning from high school. This true New Yorker worked as a tour guide of Native American culture at the world-renowned American Museum of Natural History and helped educate students of all ages. While accumulating academic achievements at Bowdoin, Samuel would find respite in the studio as captain of the Brazilian jiu-jitsu team or the college dining hall where he improved his recipe book. Samuel also earned his Master of Science in Education (M.S.Ed) from the University of Pennsylvania which culminated in a research project examining student-centered learning and the further development of student empathy. While trying to avoid his favorite treat—Devil Dogs, Samuel will be burning calories as Head coach for the boys’ Thirds soccer and Head coach for the boys’ Thirds basketball teams while reflecting with young leaders in HDT3.
