Maybe now the school board

Submitted by WilmMan on Thu, 05/14/2009 - 10:10am.
Maybe now the school board will see a need to do away with this position. Does NHC really need a County AD? I also don't understand why school ADs either don't coach or don't teach. What is the purpose of having a County AD and an AD at every schools especially if they aren't doing anything else?

Coach Miller was a good man and an even better coach. Maybe he will come back to NHHS and restore order to the program that hae built and get it back to respectable status!!

Look Bill-Joe Miller is a great man and it is a loss for NH County Schools but as long as we have Kevin Motsinger the NHHS football program will have continued success. Players benefit from his guidance on and off the field.
