TODD ROSENTHAL Moline High School Todd has been a member of the Illinois Athletic Directors Association since 2000. In that time, he had served the IADA on the conference committee as the Corporate Sponsor Chair. Todd served on the IADA Hall of Fame selection committee for 5 years.
Todd has been involved in education and athletics for the past 35 years. Starting in 1982, he began his career in the Quad City schools as a substitute teacher, where he coached soccer, track and wrestling at United Township High School in East Moline. In 1985, Todd was hired as a full time teacher by Moline High School, where he was also named the head wrestling coach and head girls golf coach. Todd would continue in these roles until 2000, when Todd would become the Athletic Director at Moline High School, again a position he would hold until his retirement in 2017. He would be named the State Wrestling Coach of the Year by the Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association in 1996 and 2000, also being named Wrestling Coach of the Year in Illinois by National Wrestling Coaches Association. He was inducted in IWCOA Hall of Fame in 2001 and National Wrestling Hall of Fame Illinois Chapter in 2014. Todd has served the IHSA as a member of the Wrestling Advisory Committee, the Strategic Planning Committee, the Wrestling Weight Control Ad-Hoc Committee, the Tournament Manager for the Dual Team State Wrestling Tournament, and Supervisor of Head Table at the Individual State Wrestling Tournament. Todd is not taking time to rest in his retirement as he currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Quad City Marathon, he is a Committee member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Illinois Chapter, and he is on the Board of Directors for the PGA’s John Deere Classic. Dave Gannaway, former IHSA Assistant Executive Director, said, “Todd is not only a great administrator but he became a very good friend, leader, and mentor to many people across the state of Illinois. Todd is very well respected by the athletes, coaches, administrators and parents at Moline High School. His fellow administrators in the Western Big Six Conference always looked to Todd for guidance and direction on critical issues that they faced.” Former Principal at Moline High School, Gary Koeller, stated “Moline High School and the Moline community have always valued and supported its 20 sports programs. As Athletic Director, Todd Rosenthal continued and enhanced this tradition through his school and community work. Todd truly loved his work and in many ways retiring as a very successful athletic director was the right capstone to his athletic, teaching and coaching career,” Todd’s extensive contributions to high school athletics and his dedication to the IADA are a few of the many reasons that led to his selection as a member of the IADA Hall of Fame.
