FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Johnson Central High School Announces New Coach for Volleyball

"Stepping into the role of Head Coach for the Johnson Central volleyball program, my focus is locked squarely on the future. Our mission is to establish a gold standard—one defined by a relentless culture of grit and positivity.
We are building this program on the pillars of family, discipline, character, and accountability. By fostering these values, we will naturally elevate the level of volleyball played on our court. The era of simply competing is over; it is time for the Golden Eagles to consistently contend for championships and become a premier pipeline for collegiate-level talent every single season.
Our goal is clear: it’s time to hang new banners in our gym and add hardware to the trophy case. Nothing with wings can fly as high as an Eagle—now it’s time to prove it."

Yesterday our students rolled up their sleeves and learned a valuable life skill—how to properly clean windows using a squeegee! 🧼🪟 Led by Mr. Cole with CWTP, students were taught the correct techniques, from prepping the surface to mastering smooth, streak-free strokes. It was great to see their focus, teamwork, and pride in a job well done. Skills like these build confidence, responsibility, and real-world readiness. We’re proud of the effort they showed today! 💪
