Coaching Staff

Maitre Joseph Pechinsky

 

Joe Pechinsky has more than earned the title of “Fencing Master.” Known worldwide as one of the finest U.S. coaches, Joe had a student on every Olympic team from 1968-1992 and was inducted into the United States Fencing Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1999. Joe will take no credit, and will forever be the humble and soft-spoken man that quietly makes champions in the school gym.
