Clinton High School and Jr. High Seeking Head Basketball Coach

Clinton High School and Jr. High School are in need of a boys basketball coach.

Last year's coach Karl Parrish, who also serves as the High School's Athletic Director, has stepped down, leaving the position vacant. Superintendent of Clinton Schools Dr. Jeff Holmes explains the district would like to see them fill one of four teaching vacancies with a teacher with coaching experience.

Dr. Holmes wants a candidate that will work with the Jr. High and even youth leagues in the community to implement their philosophies and then have them ready for their system when they reach the high school Varsity level. He feels Jr. High coaches should be viewed as assistant coaches to the Varsity head coach.

The Jr. High may be ready to name a coach soon. Dr. Holmes says his Jr. High principles have a candidate they believe is a good teacher and a good coaching candidate. While winning is not the most important factor, Dr. Holmes believes the district is ready for a winning high school basketball program.
