A former Butte High Bulldog will be the new executive director of the Montana High School Association.

The MHSA Executive Board announced today that Brian Michelotti will replace retiring Mark Beckman, a fellow Butte native. The last day of Beckman’s 25-year career with the MHSA will be June 30.

Michelotti will be the fifth executive director in the history of the organization. He currently serves as the Associate Director for the MHSA.  He was hired as an assistant director in 2005 and was promoted to Associate Director in 2018.  Michelotti’s responsibilities included managing corporate partnerships and technology and serving as the liaison for the sports of football, golf, wrestling and tennis.  He will assume the responsibilities of executive director on July 1, 2022.

Beckman is retiring after serving seven years as an assistant director and eighteen years as MHSA executive director.

The job opening was posted this spring and after going through the hiring process, the Executive Board selected Michelotti.  The Board directed that the advertising for the position of assistant director, which is being vacated by Michelotti, will begin on Monday, May 16.

Michelotti is a 1990 graduate of Butte High School. He played football and basketball for the Bulldogs. 2 comments
