Saints,
We received the resignation of Jon Wilson, Saints Head Football Coach. We want to thank Jon for the years of hardwork and dedication he has given the program, and most importantly, our athletes. Under Jon’s leadership, we have seen improvement program-wide.
As we move forward, the district will post the position in December, along with having a stake-holder informational meeting. This meeting will provide direction to the district administration in the hiring process. We anticipate interviews to be after the new year. This will give potential candidates time to prepare for interviews. More information will be given at the stake-holder meeting in December. Please continue to watch the website for updates.
We again want to thank Jon for his leadership over the past years. He has provided a positive direction for our football program to build upon.
In Saints pride,
St. James Public Schools Administration
