Sachem teacher, coach left his mark on school district after 33-year career
Pete Creedon, one of Sachem’s original teachers, who spent 33 years working in the school district, has passed away. He was 90.
Among his many accomplishments and historic additions to Sachem was coming up with the traditionally unique “Flaming Arrows” moniker that Sachem has used since the early 1960s. He was also the first basketball coach in district history.
He worked at a number of buildings during his tenure from Gatelot and Waverly to Chippewa, Seneca, Sachem South and the original high school.
His wake will be held on June 25 at St. James Funeral Home from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. with Mass on June 26 at St. Philips and James Church in St. James at 10 a.m.
