Farmington R-7 Names Greg Tadych as Director of Communications

The Farmington R-7 School District has named Greg Tadych as its next Director of Communications. He will begin May 18, 2026.

Tadych brings 24 years of broadcasting experience and four years in collegiate athletic communications. He currently serves as Assistant Sports Information Director at the University of Health Sciences & Pharmacy in St. Louis and works as a broadcaster for the Missouri State High School Activities Association and the American Midwest Conference.

He previously spent more than two decades as Sports Director at KFMO/B104 Radio in Park Hills. His career also includes roles with the Lynchburg HillCats, a Single-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and KUTT Radio in Nebraska.

Tadych has been recognized as the 2025 American Midwest Conference Sports Information Director of the Year and is an eight-time Missouri Broadcasters Association award winner for play-by-play, along with additional awards for sports and feature reporting.

Tadych and his wife previously lived in Farmington for seven years.

“Farmington became a place that truly felt like home,” Tadych said. “I have always viewed Farmington R-7 as a leader in the region. I am excited to reconnect with a community and district I care deeply about.”

In this role, Tadych looks forward to expanding beyond athletics and helping share the stories of students and staff across the district.

“I hope to be a trusted voice and continue delivering clear, timely communication,” he said. 

During his first 90 days, Tadych plans to focus on building relationships, learning district systems, developing a content calendar, and ensuring communication remains accessible and transparent. He also intends to build on the strong foundation established within the Communications Department, keeping student success at the center of district messaging.

Originally from the Cleveland area, Tadych moved to Missouri to pursue broadcasting. His wife, Laci, is a second grade teacher in the Dunklin School District. The couple enjoys travel, home renovation projects, and visiting sports venues across the country.
