The 50-year-old Bibler has accepted the Director of Business Development position in the Crosswinds Program through Lifeline Youth and Family Services.
In his letter of resignation to Dr. Michael Bendicsen, the high school principal, Bibler expressed a desire to remain on the school’s Mental Health Task Force and the Probation Committee.
“Though I have enjoyed the past 25 years teaching, coaching and working in the guidance department at Tippecanoe Valley High School, I fell I’m being called to serve the community in another capacity,” Bibler said in his letter.
“This community has been hit hard over the past several years with families struggling with broken relationships, poverty, addictions, abuse and with suicides. I truly believe I have an excellent opportunity as the Director of Business Development of the Crosswinds Program to bring hope to these families.
“This community means a lot to me and I look forward maintaining a great working relationship with this school corporation. With your blessing, I wish to continue to be a member of our Mental Health Task Force and Probation Committee.”
Bibler graduated from Tippecanoe Valley in 1982 and was a member of the school’s state championship team in 1979.
He coached the Vikings from 1990 to 2005, compiling a record of 98-68.
After stepping down, and being replaced by long-time assistant Jeff Shriver, Bibler returned when Shriver stepped down.
Valley, after graduating some record-breaking players, was 1-9 overall and 1-6 in the Three Rivers Conference this past season, leaving Bibler with a career record of 99-77.
Bibler led the Vikings to a sectional championship in 1992, the program’s last.
“Thank you for all the support you and this school corporation have given me and my family,” Bibler said to Bendicsen in the resignation letter. “I will forever cherish the time I spent with my students, athletes and colleagues at Tippecanoe Valley.”[[In-content Ad]]
