Today we honor and remember Leo Biron, distinguished recipient of the Dudley-Charlton Education Foundation Heroes Among Us Award. Through his dedication, service, and commitment to our community, he exemplified the very qualities this award represents.
His impact on our schools and the lives he touched will not be forgotten. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him or been coached by him.
May his legacy continue to inspire future generations.
Please join us in celebrating Leo Biron, a 2024 Hero Among Us!!
Without a doubt, Coach Biron is the "founding father of Shepherd Hill football". Leo was the Head Coach for 18 seasons, over three different time periods, including the inaugural season of 1973. Over that time he amassed a record of 100-73-4, coached the team to three league titles (1977, 1996, 1997), and directed the only undefeated regular-season (2000) in program history. Leo returned to the program from 2005-2007 as Defensive Coordinator, serving an instrumental role in the school's only Super Bowl victory in 2007. He continued to coach the Freshmen Team until 2011.
He is in the Bartlett Hall-of-Fame for his outstanding career as a Quarterback and also played at UMass. In addition to also being a Phys-Ed teacher, he was the district’s founding Athletic Director of Shepherd Hill and was responsible for setting up the sports program for the newly established high school. He retired from teaching in 2001 but has made his mark on our district by setting a strong and solid foundation.
