I have always believed in the benefit of athletics to teach valuable life lessons as an extension of the lessons learned in the classroom and at home. Our state Brandon Bowman Karen Burke Shirley Deckard Susan Graves and nationally recognized athletic pro- Board Member Board Member Board Member Board Member grams for both boys and girls at Ben Davis High School provide for fall, spring and winter participation in nearly 20 Wayne Township Administrators sports.
