Coach and teach at two different schools

[Westernside]

Wonder how many coaches across the state, coach and teach at two different schools? I feel like that would be tough situation by all 3 parties involved.

Very common up in northern states where teaching jobs pay much higher. I grew up in Western Pennsylvania where football is obviously still very important. It is very common to have an out of the building coach. Teaching PA is really good there and you get tenured at the start of your 3rd year. So teaching jobs are rare and hare to come by. Very often you have a coach who teaches say history at one high school and is the head coach of a rival high school a couple miles away. I can't imagine how hard that has to be to balance that but they seem to make it work

One of our assistant coaches did that when I was playing at Cov Cath in the 1990s, and it was no big deal to us on the team, at least. There was also a Cov Cath teacher on the Highlands baseball coaching staff for the last 4 or 5 years.

The only head coach in the state that I know who does this, is Coach Dick at Lou. Holy Cross. He teaches in JCPS at Moore, and is the HFC at Holy Cross. He runs a good program over on Dixie Highway…not to mention it’s a smart move on his part financially now + retirement wise.

It’s nothing out of the norm, though to see assistant coaches do this. It’s not something you see in the masses, but not a rarity either.

Coach Lickert at NCC is a principal in Ohio.

Is he principal of a high school in Ohio, or an elementary/middle school?

No idea.

There was an assistant coach at Southwestern that was a teacher at Somerset. He had been at Somerset as a coach for years but left after Coach Lucas passed away.
