Dr. Daryl Herrick
Dr. Daryl Herrick had an incredible impact on the Cedarburg School District over his 13 years as superintendent. Specific to athletics, he helped create the Athletic Hall of Fame and Cedarburg Basketball Club. In addition, under Dr. Herrick’s leadership, CHS developed some of the best athletic facilities in the state.
With a few key community members, Dr. Herrick initiated the creation of the Cedarburg Basketball Club (CBC) in 2002. Still going strong more than twenty years later, the CBC is instrumental in the development of middle school students' skills in a competitive environment. Dr. Herrick also initiated the Athletic Hall of Fame for Cedarburg High School. With the first honorees inducted in 2011, this has contributed to the outstanding history within CHS and the community, and it is only appropriate that Dr. Herrick is now a part of this legacy as an inductee, himself.
Most importantly, we can thank Dr. Herrick for the many athletic facilities developed or expanded during his tenure, including: varsity and junior varsity softball fields, junior varsity tennis courts, new irrigation systems underneath six practice fields and game fields, and a new football stadium and track. In 2001, he recommended the expansion to build a fieldhouse, now the most used facility in the community. In the later part of his time as superintendent, he proposed the construction of the baseball concession stand as well as a soccer and softball concession stand with bathrooms in 2009-10. During the 2011-12 school year, he supported renovation of the varsity and junior varsity baseball complex with dugouts, press box, and bleachers.
The scope of Dr. Herrick’s reach extends far beyond CHS Athletics to many academic successes such as adding 32 new courses, repeated national recognition for quality education, and consistent high ACT scores. He was also a driving force in the creation of the Cedarburg Education Foundation and enhanced technology throughout the district. We are deeply appreciative of Dr. Herrick’s dedication and passion for his service to CHS and the Cedarburg community.
