Coach Robert "Bob" Barbieri began his coaching career at Pittston High School in 1964. Following the merger in 1966, his leadership and team building skills played an instrumental role in uniting seven individual towns into the Pittston Area School District. Throughout his career, his dedication and devotion to the Pittston Area community as an educator, coach and mentor touched the lives of countless young men and women. The life lessons learned by these individuals continue to influence today's generation and the generations to come.
