Clarendon CISD Athletic Director Aaron Wampler confirmed Friday afternoon that he is resigning and taking a new position at River Road ISD.
Wampler told the Enterprise that he and his family have mixed feelings about leaving Clarendon.
“We’re doing a lot of going back and forth from being excited about the future to being sad to leave here,” Wampler said.
Wampler said his hiring will be confirmed by the River Road school board on Monday and then he will start his duties there as athletic director and head football coach on Tuesday following a press conference.
Clarendon, Wampler said, has always been very welcoming to his family and he likes the solid people of the community.
“We have enjoyed our time here and have been very happy here,” he said. “This has been a very supportive community, and I appreciate the buy-in and the character and the hard work of the kids here.”
The move to River Road Wampler says comes after careful consideration about what was best for his family.
“It’s never a matter of looking to leave but always looking at what’s best for the future of our family,” Wampler said. “River Road values athletics a lot, they have top notch facilities, and a great future for their athletic program.”
Wampler started at Clarendon in th spring of 2023 after the departure of then athletic director Clint Conkin. Prior to that, Wampler had spent six years at Caprock High School followed by three years at Boys Ranch.
