Mark Cisterna has been MUSD's athletic director since 2014.

The Maricopa Unified School District is chasing down a new athletic director.

MUSD Superintendent Steve Chestnut said former Athletic Director Mark Cisterna submitted a resignation letter to the district on June 5. Cisterna was hired in 2014, coming from Gilbert. Over the past year, he led MUSD through the realignment process of the Arizona Interscholastic Association.

“He will be the new athletic director at Notre Dame Preparatory in Scottsdale,” Chestnut said.

The district posted notice of the position vacancy on its website the same day it received the letter and is currently accepting applications.  The salary range is $73,000-$84,810.
