Bolles Hosts Special Tribute for Retired Team Physician Lucie
Dr. and Mrs. Stephen Lucie

Bolles hosted a special pregame ceremony honoring retired team physician Dr. Stephen Lucie for his many years of dedicated service to The Bolles School.

The event was held at Skinner-Barco Stadium prior to the Bold City Showcase matchup between Bolles and West Nassau in late-August. Attendees included longtime coach and athletic staff members, faculty, friends and family. A plaque honoring his years of service was installed at the entrance of the Sports Medicine Room to mark the occasion.

Lucie first stepped onto the Bolles sideline in 1982, offering his services to help Bulldogs heal and stay healthy in their sports endeavors. In the nearly 40 years since, he was instrumental in advancing the Sports Medicine services at Bolles in personnel, resources and facilities. Lucie’s ties to Bolles extend to that of a former Trustee (1998-2004) and past parent (Ryland ’96 and Craig ’00). His legacy will endure as Bolles continues to offer Sports Medicine on the level of many college athletic programs.
