Mike Puzey is the Roy High Athletic Director. Resident Jake Draper said Puzey is the best Athletic Director in the state. “He works tirelessly to make Roy Days a huge success. He supports every sport and truly has the kids in mind. He is very unselfish and spends hours going above and beyond to make sure all the details are perfect.”

Emily Miller from Roy City calls Mike Puzey “Mr. Roy”, because he’s involved in many things and knows a lot of people here. “He is my partner for Roy Days as the vendor coordinator. We work for half the year getting vendors lined up to bring the best booth area to Roy Days – from many phone calls to mapping the area out to vendor hospitality during the event. He is vital in the vendor area preparation, from measuring to painting to cleanup. He coordinates the Roy Days 5K, and he oversees the other events run by Roy High, including the Pancake Breakfast, 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament, Baseball Home Run Derby, and the Stomp Glow Dance.

“He constantly puts others above himself. He’s the kind of guy that you want on your side. He’s one of my biggest cheerleaders. I know he will always have my back and make sure that others treat me right.”

“Mike will give the shirt off his back for someone who needs it. He loves Roy High, and he loves the city of Roy. He is constantly giving to the Roy City employees, from football tickets to Roy High gear.”
