Dunham to Resign Post in Moorpark Athletics

Paul Dunham, athletic director at Moorpark College, is retiring after 25 years as a coach and administrator at the school. Dunham has served as athletic director for the past 20 years and also coached football (five years), baseball (one year), tennis (three years) and golf (four years).

His 1980 golf team won a state championship and the 1970 football team captured the Western State Conference title.

“I’m going to miss being at the college,” Dunham said. “I’ve surrounded myself with some great people. I’m going to miss the relationships I’ve developed with those people and I’m going to miss the students.”

No replacement for Dunham has been named.
