Versailles, MO – On Thursday, February 20, the Morgan County R-II School District Board of Education approved hiring Aaron Allen as Athletic Director for the 2025-2026 school year. Previously serving as the Activities/Transportation Director, Allen will dedicate himself solely to athletics next year, with Transportation responsibilities now overseen by the district’s Central Administrative Offices.

"I’m excited to return to the district as Athletic Director," said Allen. "This role will allow me to focus on mentoring our coaches, building relationships, and helping them strengthen their connections with student-athletes. I plan to spend more time with our students and coaches at practices and events, update banners to showcase and honor our past programs, and focus on coaching retention. We have an amazing group leading our students, and I’m excited to continue working alongside them. We’ve made great strides, and the best is yet to come for Versailles."

Superintendent Marc Spunaugle expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "We are thrilled to welcome Aaron back as Athletic Director. His dedication to our students and the Versailles community is a great asset. We are excited for the future of our athletics program and grateful to have him back leading the charge."
