Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy has named Bryan Fetzer the new executive director of athletics, effective July 1.
According to a press release, Fetzer has an impressive record of directing high-caliber collegiate athletic programs to win championships, drive growth, and achieve success, along with his strong desire to impact students and coaches in a Christian environment, make him a perfect fit for CHCA.
“I’m excited to tackle the challenges of leading and building on the current successes of the Athletic Department at CHCA. It’s our responsibility to be incredible ambassadors for CHCA and Christ," he said in the new release. "We will be committed to excellence in every aspect: from facilities enhancements and assisting in coaches’ education and development, to implementing a comprehensive sport development program, and raising the awareness of CHCA in the city, state and nation.”

CHCA’s incoming head of school Dr. Dean Nicholas said in the release Fetzer has coached and led athletic programs at the highest levels.
"He is a strong leader with a large vision of what athletics could be in an independent Christian school like CHCA. And his deep faith and belief in our mission make him the perfect person to take us to the next level of CHCA Athletics,” he said.
A search committee was comprised of board members, administration, coaches, and parents.
CHCA recently completed a comprehensive restructuring of the athletic department. One critical output of this work was identifying the need for an executive director who will oversee the program more holistically.
Fetzer’s 25 years of experience with all components of education, sports and leadership at the NCAA’s highest level of academic institutions (Harvard, Virginia, California-Berkeley) and professional organizations provide a foundation for this new role.
Fetzer said creating an environment that fosters excellence with everyone understanding their responsibility, then taking accountability for it, is critical in his success as a leader.
“The goal will always be leaving the situation better than it was when you began,” he said.
The Lakota High School graduate said he feels blessed for the opportunity to come home and be closer to family.
