The Emerging Industry Leader Award recognizes a young professional who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in addressing safety and security issues.  Lemelin is the only high school leader in the United States to receive this award.  “I am thrilled to be recognized by the NCS4 as an emerging leader in sports safety.

It truly takes a team environment for safety and success.”  Lemelin has been the Athletic Director for SHS since the start of the 2022-2023 school year.  “Throughout his time at Sanford High School, Zach has demonstrated dedication to advancing professionally and implementing best practices,” Sanford School Department Superintendent Matt Nelson said. “Sanford can take pride in his contributions to serving its students, families, and community.”  NCS4 is an organization affiliated with the University of Southern Mississippi. It is committed to providing professional growth in the sports management industry by identifying best practices in conducting high school, collegiate, and professional sporting events and marathons.
