Coaching Opportunity @ AHS
Faculty and Staff,
My name is Dan Devine, Athletic Director at Alpharetta High School. As we transition into the summer months our cheerleading program we are in need of a Varsity Competition Coach & a Sideline Cheer Coach. Our student athletes are exemplary both on the field and in the classrooms and we would like to see our cheerleading program continue to flourish in the upcoming school year.
We are seeking knowledgeable county employees who would not only bring value to our program but also model spirit, leadership, passion and sportsmanship to our young athletes. Does this sound like something you might be interested in? If so, I would love the opportunity to speak with you regarding the opportunity to coach at Alpharetta.
Both positions come with supplements provided by the county and can be filled by 2 separate people! If you or someone you know would like to learn more about coaching please contact myself & Katie Arnold (arnoldk@fultonschools.org) who is the director of the cheerleading program. We also accept members of the community as coaches if you know of anyone with sports specific knowledge not currently employed by the county.
Thank you,
Dan Devine
