A new bench near the Sweet Home High School track now stands in memory of longtime coach Carl J. Roesch Sr., whose legacy shaped generations of Sweet Home athletes. In addition to being a teacher, Coach Roesch led Sweet Home Cross-Country from 1961–2000, amassing an incredible 410 wins (the most in New York State history), 16 ECIC and Section VI Championships, and 9 undefeated seasons. He was named WKBW-TV’s Western New York Cross-Country Coach of the Year and guided numerous runners who went on to coach and inspire others.
Recently the Roesch family - including daughter-in-law Amanda, a Sweet Home High School teacher & her husband Craig Roesch met with our track and field athletes and Coach Dunstan to share stories and memories of Coach Roesch's decades of dedication, humility, and love for running.
His impact on Sweet Home athletics continues to be felt today, and this new bench serves as a lasting tribute to the coach who helped build a culture of pride, perseverance, and Panther spirit.

Our students (and staff!) were lucky enough to meet Manny today - the Community Engagement and Support Canine for the Amherst Police Department.
Manny's partner, Officer Solak, explained Manny's role in soothing and supporting individuals in crisis, and how it differs from the duties of other canine officers. Manny was generously donated to the APD by the Devin Waring Foundation, and his role is relatively new. They hope to grow the program and help as many people as possible through the unique connection of a Support Canine.
Thank you to APD & Officer Solak for spending time with us today!
