The Saugus Middle-High School outdoor athletic complex will bear the name of the late legendary Saugus athlete and coach Christie Serino Jr.
Town Meeting members voted unanimously to name the athletic complex adjacent to the new Saugus Middle-High School the Christie Serino Jr. Athletic Sports Complex.
Board of Selectmen Chairman Anthony Cogliano said he couldn’t see any individual more deserving of the honor than Serino, who excelled in hockey, baseball and football at Saugus High School and coached those same three sports at his alma mater.
“I think it’s a fitting tribute for someone who is extremely deserving,” Cogliano said.

A push is underway to name the new Saugus Middle-High School athletic complex in honor of the late Christie Serino Jr.
On behalf of the Serino family and the Friends of Saugus High School Hockey, School Committee member John Hatch requested the Board of Selectmen insert an article on the annual Town Meeting warrant to name the athletic complex after Serino.
A former three-sport star and inductee into the Saugus High School Athletic Hall of Fame, Serino went on to coach hockey, baseball and football at his alma mater. He was also a standout performer in all three sports at American International College.
